Anxiety is setting in among Republicans over Herschel Walkers bid to oust Sen. Raphael Warnock (D) in Georgia after a series of unforced errors and negative headlines that have rocked the former football stars general election campaign.
Walker, who was endorsed by former President Trump early on and went largely unchallenged in the GOP primary, has been beset for months by damaging revelations about his business record and personal life, including an admission that he fathered three children he had not previously disclosed publicly.
Walkers troubles have been underscored by recent polls that show him trailing Warnock. One survey from Quinnipiac University released last month found the incumbent Democrat leading by a staggering 10-point margin, while a more recent poll conducted for the AARP put Warnock ahead by 3 points.
He needs help. He needs to be much better prepared because when Labor Day rolls around, hes going to have to be able to articulate and do it consistently and do it coherently, said Chuck Clay, a former Georgia state senator and state GOP chair. Hes got himself two or three months. Hes a smart guy. But he needs focus. He needs to get that part of the campaign down. A Heisman Trophy isnt going to bring him a victory.

It doesn't speak well of the GOP when they think a guy who was a standout football player 40 years ago and hasn't done anything since would make a good Senator.
