ATLANTA — Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan is one of the highest-ranking Republicans in Georgia. He’s also one of the most prominent GOP critics of Herschel Walker’s Senate run – and the pro-Donald Trump forces that helped him win the nomination.
Duncan, whose term expires in January, made waves in October when he condemned Walker as a candidate who “won the primary because he scored a bunch of touchdowns back in the ‘80s and he was Donald Trump’s friend.”
Still, Duncan wouldn’t say whether he would vote for Walker – until this week. He said he waited in line for an hour at a busy polling site in Forsyth County, got to the touchscreen pad and couldn’t back Walker or Democratic U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock.
