Delegates registered to vote in Saturday’s chaotic and unpredictable Republican nominating convention will choose a gubernatorial nominee without the input of the biggest force in Republican politics: Donald Trump.

Mo Brooks, who is campaigning for an open Senate seat in 2022. He pledged to campaign against Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski. And he has encouraged former football player Herschel Walker, now a Texas resident, to move back to his home state of Georgia and run for Senate in 2022.
