ATLANTA —Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker raised more than $5.4 million in the final three months of last year, a sum his campaign predicted would be among the largest in the nation for a challenger.
The former football icon has raised about $10 million overall since launching his bid to unseat Democratic U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock in August, his campaign said Wednesday. He is expected to report roughly $5 million in cash on hand at the Jan. 31 deadline.
Walker is the GOP frontrunner thanks in part to his sky-high name recognition and support from former President Donald Trump, who said the Republican would be an "unstoppable" political force in a contest that could decide control of the Senate.
