Another Herschel Walker headline rocked the Republican’s embattled campaign when The Daily Beast reported late Wednesday that the woman who said the Senate hopeful paid for her 2009 abortion is also the mother of one of his four children.
The GOP Senate nominee had called the Daily Beast’s earlier report that he paid for an abortion a “flat-out lie” and vowed to sue the publication.report: “There is no truth to this or any other Daily Beast report.”
Anxious Republican strategists say they want to hear a forceful response from Walker that directly confronts the allegations and focuses on his struggles with mental health. Voters got a taste of his strategy earlier Wednesday with a digital ad that featured Walker saying that Warnock “doesn’t believe in redemption.” It ends with Walker saying he’s “saved by grace.”
Even as national Republicans double-down on his candidacy, key Georgia figures are responding in a different way. The reactions of Gov. Brian Kemp and Attorney General Chris Carr are telling: Neither defended Walker,“Even the most staunch Republicans are rattled,” Republican Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan said on CNN. “Every Republican knew that there was baggage out there, but the weight of that baggage is starting to feel a little closer to unbearable at this point.
