Herschel Walker barnstormed the state of Georgia for the last year hunting for enough GOP votes to get elected to the U.S. Senate. But the one person he could have really used help from was Gov. Brian Kemp.
The governor has proven to be the most popular Republican in the state. He routed former Sen. David Perdue in a Donald Trump-sponsored GOP primary by more than 50 points and, after seeing Republicans outmanned on the ground in 2021, plowed millions into his own get-out-the-vote operation to give Democrats a run for their money.
It’s not that Kemp wouldn’t offer his help this cycle to Walker— it’s that Walker never asked for it.
