Donald Trump is reportedly “p—-d” that Republican campaign operatives are telling the former president to stay away from Herschel Walker‘s Senate runoff election in Georgia.
Rolling Stone reported the news, revealing Trump saw a former administration official declining to endorse his campaigning as “a slap in the face.”
According to one of the people familiar with the matter, the ex-president has privately complained about a Nov. 9 Fox News clip, during which his own former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany declined to say whether or not Trump should travel to Georgia — even though she added that DeSantis should be “welcome to the state.” Trump saw the Fox segment, starring one of his own past senior administration officials, as a “slap in the face,” per the source’s characterization.
Trump would also reportedly be upset if Florida governor Ron DeSantis comes to Georgia to campaign alongside Walker in Trump’s absence. Walker’s campaign has welcomed the help of the popular governor, who just won a landslide re-election result in Nov. 8th’s midterm elections.
Walker faces Democratic incumbent Senator Raphael Warnock in a head-to-head runoff election after neither candidate earned the 50 percent of the vote required by state election law to seal the election.
Voters head to the polls on Dec. 6th.
