Raphael Warnock and his team have lived by the unofficial motto: 'Remain the Reverend.' And while he's staying true to that motto, he also isn't holding back any hard swings against his opponent Herschel Walker.
at the time, there wasn’t much he could add to what Walker’s own son, Christian, was publicly saying about the Republican’s failures as a father and as a family man.
Two days before the election, Warnock amped up the rhetoric, tweeting, “we’ve watched Herschel Walker double down on his lies in the face of all evidence and we’ve seen this pattern of lying, but also violence.” Walker and his GOP allies have a closing message of their own. It is harshly negative on the Democratic senator—and has only grown more so now that Walker can no longer argue that a vote against Warnock is a vote for a Republican majority in the Senate. For instance, the Senate Leadership Fund, the super PAC aligned with Sen. Mitch McConnell, has spent millions to amplify allegations that Warnock’s church has evicted residents from an apartment building it owns.
Walker’s own Twitter account has gone after Warnock in harsh terms, arguing he “only serves himself” and is not the decent man he presents himself to be. Yet, the Republican hopeful has puzzled observers by making the issue of transgender people in college sports a prominent focus in the runoff campaign, even cutting a direct-to-camera ad featuring himself and a female athlete.
With both the 2020 Senate runoffs being decided by under 1 percentage point, a tight political landscape means bringing out any anti-Walker voters available, even if they aren’t otherwise comfortable voting for a Democrat.
