A new woman has come forward claiming Georgia GOP Senate hopeful Herschel Walker drove her to have an abortion, attorney Gloria Allred said Wednesday.
The woman, who has been identified only as “Jane Doe,” was allegedly in a romantic relationship with the former football star-turned-Republican nominee.

Allred claimed in a statement that she would provide evidence of the romantic relationship and Walker’s knowledge that the woman was about to terminate her pregnancy.
“All evidence in support of her romance with Mr. Walker will be revealed at the press conference,” she said. The briefing will be held at 2:30 p.m. over Zoom.
Walker has voiced strict anti-abortion policies, but a bombshell report released earlier this month by the Daily Beast accused Walker of paying for another woman’s abortion and then sending her a get-well card. The woman, whom Walker claimed not to know but is allegedly the mother of one of his children, prompted Walker’s son Christian to go on a scathing social media rant about his father.
The younger Walker claimed his famous father purposely mislead voters by orchestrating a false narrative about having a happy home life.
“I’ve stayed silent for nearly two years as my whole life has been lied about publicly,” Christian Walker said in the first of two videos posted to Twitter. “I did one campaign event, then said I didn’t want involvement.”
He added in a subsequent post that he had stayed quiet through a litany of scandals involving his father, including claims he had “all these random kids across the country, none of whom he raised.”
During a debate in Savannah earlier this month, Walker flatly denied the first abortion allegation.
“I said that was a lie, and I’m not backing down,” he said.
Walker and his Democratic opponent, Sen. Raphael Warnock, are in a high-stakes contest that could determine which political party controls the upper chamber of Congress next year. Despite the scandals, the Republican Party, both local and national, has continued to support Walker. Gov. Brian Kemp told the Washington Examiner he would vote for Walker in the Nov. 8 election.
Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, and Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AK) have both stumped for Walker in Georgia.
A Walker win would be a major coup for Republicans who saw Georgia, once a reliably red state, break for Democrats in the 2020 presidential election as well as two Senate runoffs.

Following the Daily Beast report, Walker’s Senate campaign raised over $500,000.
Calls to Walker by the Washington Examiner seeking comment were not returned.
