Since he lost his runoff Georgia senate runoff race a few months ago to Raphael Warnock, no one has barely seen or heard from Herschel Walker. Walker isn’t a missing person, he just totally disappeared from the political scene.
It’s not unusual for politicians to take a break for a few months, but once Walker lost, he was gone.
For Walker, once the race was over he was done and people are puzzled by it.
“I’m short on details,” said Salleigh Grubbs, the Cobb County GOP chair who was a key Walker ally.
“I have not spoken with Herschel recently but always wish him the best,” said Republican National Committeewoman Ginger Howard.
Even Walker supporters haven’t heard from him or his campaign.
Although Walker has made appearances here and there, he still declines to appear on conservative talk shows, which shouldn’t be too much of a surprise.
Walker’s lack of experience in politics showed when asked several questions regarding several key issues. Walker’s answers a lot of times came off as weak and uninformed.
Walker was recruited by Donald Trump who was his former boss in the USFL when he played for the New Jersey Generals. Trump felt that Walker’s race and name would pull African-American voters his way, but they were wrong.
Black voters in Georgia went hard for Warnock who received most of the black vote. But if you saw his concession speech to Warnock, you could tell that maybe Herschel Walker grew tired of the spotlight and humiliation and was glad it was finally over.
