Herschel Walker’s Georgia Senate campaign pleads to donors for more money because of Sen. Warnock’s growing sense of momentum.
Outgunned financially as Democrats dominate early voting, Herschel Walker’s Georgia Senate campaign Thursday begged donors to pony up more money because of Sen. Raphael Warnock’s growing sense of momentum.
Polling has been relatively scant during the runoff. Most surveys show Warnock ahead of Walker — albeit by an amount that’s inside the margin of error — so the race could be statistically tied. The closeness of the race is emphasized in Paradise’s memo, which calls the contest “winnable” — but only if Republicans, who outnumber Democrats in the state, turn out in force.So far, however, the opposite is happening.
As of Wednesday morning, early ballots cast by Democratic-aligned voters statewide outnumbered Republican-cast ballots by 21 percentage points — Democrats had only a 7-point advantage at this same point ahead of November’s Election Day, according to data from TargetSmart, a top Democratic data firm whose research Walker’s campaign didn’t dispute.
“Core Republican voters just can’t get fired up about Walker, and they came out in the general because they liked Kemp or their congressional candidates. But Walker wasn’t the reason, and they’re not coming out for Walker,” Bonier said.
