Herschel Walker passes his first test in Georgia's Senate race

Football legend Herschel Walker may be a political newcomer, but he has passed his first test in the Georgia Senate race: refusing to turn the 2022 midterm elections into a Republican civil war.

Walker refused to jump on board the effort to defeat Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp in the GOP primary after Kemp drew the ire of former President Donald Trump and his allies for not trying to rig the Georgia election in his favor. After taking a picture with Kemp challenger Vernon Jones, which Jones then used to suggest Walker was backing his campaign, Walker’s campaign said that he is focused on his Senate race and that he “is not getting involved in any other races this cycle.”
