Maria Bartiromo recently asked former NFL player and current Congressman from Georgia, Herschel Walker, whether or not he will be running for the Senate in the 2022 election. President Donald Trump has encouraged Walker to run for the seat currently held by radical Democrat Raphael Warnock. Breitbart‘s Jeff Poor reports (abridged):
During this week’s broadcast of FNC’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” former University of Georgia standout running back and 1982 Heisman Trophy winner Herschel Walker discussed the possibility of a run for U.S. Senate in 2022.
The seat occupied by Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) will be up in the forthcoming election cycle.
