ATLANTA — With the last battle of the 2022 election on the line, U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock and Republican Herschel Walker and their allies made a final, fevered weekend push to voters in smaller towns, bustling cities and quiet neighborhoods around Georgia.
Walker, a Heisman Trophy winner who has focused his campaign on his University of Georgia legacy, took pictures with fans outside Mercedes-Benz Stadium before Saturday’s SEC title game. Warnock headed to Athens the next day to trumpet the victorious Bulldogs and encourage students to vote.
But football was only one phase of the four-week runoff’s final stretch. Warnock campaigned across Atlanta, Augusta and Gainesville. He squeezed in his other day job with a Sunday sermon at Ebenezer Baptist Church.
