Georgia is one of the key states in the Senate race. Thirty-five seats are up for grabs in the upper house of 100, currently shared 50-50 between Republicans and Democrats. Georgia challenger Herschel Walker leads incumbent Democrat Raphael Warnock in the opinion polls. But Walker's anti-abortion stance and his denial of climate change make his bid controversial.
Herschel Walker is a national celebrity, a former American football star with the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants. He was encouraged by former president Donald Trump to run for Senator in the 8 November midterm elections.
