Herschel Walker election results: Did the former Cowboys RB win the Georgia Senate race?
Former Dallas Cowboys running back Herschel Walker is representing the Republican Party in Georgia during the mid-term elections. He was touted to become the next Senator of Georgia, the place where he played college football, but so far it has been a tough battle.
As of Wednesday morning, Walker is trailing by roughly 35,000 votes to Raphael Warnock, who is representing the Democrats.
The elections in Georgia have been tightly contested over the years, and the story is the same this year. Herschel Walker has won around 1.9 million votes so far, while Warnock is leading with 1.935 million votes.
The former Cowboys running back was quite confident in himself ahead of the election and it seems like this race will head to a runoff. Neither candidate has been able to secure over 50% of votes so far, and due to this, a clear-cut winner is unlikely to be decided. It will be interesting to see what the outcome of the election will be as many people are rooting for Walker to become the new Senate of Georgia.
