ROME, Ga. — If Herschel Walker wins a seat in the U.S. Senate, voters in North Georgia will almost certainly help put him there.
The mountainous region north of the Atlanta suburbs is arguably the most conservative part of the state, and low turnout there helped sink Republicans David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler in last year’s U.S. Senate runoffs.
So it isn’t surprising that Walker — who polls show is locked in a tight race with Democratic incumbent Raphael Warnock — is spending three days campaigning there to rev up turnout as the race heads into its final two weeks.
