AUGUSTA, Ga. — Hours after new allegations were made public that Herschel Walker had pushed a second woman to have an abortion, dozens of his supporters gathered around a stage built to hear from the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate.
The vast majority of them had already made up their minds to back Walker over Democratic U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock. Several said the latest ripple in a campaign full of controversies had not shaken their support.
Vicki Grant and Karen Blackburn, friends who live in Evans, had traveled with their husbands to hear Walker speak for the first time. But they had already voted for him and had no qualms about it.
