ATLANTA — Former first lady Michelle Obama is helping U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock energize voters in his Dec. 6 runoff contest against Republican Herschel Walker. It’s her first foray into Georgia politics this cycle and one of only a handful of endorsements she’s issued this year.
It comes days before her husband, former President Barack Obama, headlines a rally for Warnock in Atlanta to boost turnout in the last election of the 2022 campaign.
Michelle Obama taped two robocalls urging likely Warnock supporters to cast their ballots. One encourages Georgians to vote during the early voting period, which ends Friday. Another is an Election Day reminder for voters who haven’t already cast their ballots.
