ATLANTA — Across the nation, many wondered how U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock was dragged into a runoff despite Republican Herschel Walker’s personal baggage and troubles on the campaign trail.
But the more telling question might be how Warnock avoided an outright defeat even as every other statewide Democratic candidate wiped out.
Warnock and Walker will square off in a nationally watched Dec. 6 runoff that will once test each campaign’s stamina, fundraising chops and get-out-the-vote machines – along with the endurance of exhausted Georgia voters. Depending on how other tight races shake out, the runoff could determine control of the U.S. Senate.
