The Senate fight in Georgia, a purple state that President Joe Biden narrowly won over Trump in 2020, is one of several key races that could determine which party controls the Senate after the elections.
But while Christian Walker appears to have disavowed his father's Senate bid, the Republican Party's leaders and institutions are standing by his campaign."Herschel Walker is being slandered and maligned by the Fake News Media and obviously, the Democrats," Trump said in his statement."It's very important for our Country and the Great State of Georgia that Herschel Walker wins this Election," Trump wrote.NRSC spokesman Chris Hartline said in a statement, "Democrats are losing in Georgia and are on the verge of losing the majority, so they and their media allies are doing what they always do — attack Republicans with innuendo and lies.".As a Senate candidate, Walker has called for a total ban on abortion, and he recently said he has "always been for life."."Hershel Walker has denied these allegations in the strongest possible terms and we stand firmly alongside him," said Mallory Carroll, spokeswoman for a super PAC linked to SBA Pro-Life America, in a statement.
