ATLANTA — Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan has hardly minced words about his fears of the Donald Trump-driven direction of the Republican Party.
But Duncan’s remarks this week condemning Herschel Walker represented a new break within his party — and made him the most prominent Georgia Republican critic of the Senate GOP nominee.
Duncan, the state’s No. 2 officeholder, had mostly refrained from panning Walker as the former football star steamrolled rival Republicans in the May primary and readied for a November race against Democratic U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock.
