ATLANTA — Republican Senate front-runner Herschel Walker said his campaign committees amassed $5.5 million the first three months of the year for his bid to unseat Democratic U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock.
The campaign's haul lags behind Warnock, who collected $13.6 million during the first quarter. But Walker might wind up with one of the highest fundraising totals of any Republican U.S. Senate candidate — and is expected to far outpace his GOP Senate rivals in Georgia.
Walker's campaign Friday said he received donations from more than 50,000 donors from all 50 states. He didn't immediately disclose how much cash he had on hand.
