Herschel Walker once dominated as a running back in the NFL as well as the old USFL, on a team owned by former President Donald Trump. And now Trump is hoping Walker will run again.
Only this time, Trump wants Walker to run for something other than a touchdown. He wants Walker to run for political office.
“Wouldn’t it be great if the legendary Herschel Walker ran for the United States Senate in Georgia?” Trump wrote in an official statement. “He would be unstoppable, just like he was when he played for the Georgia Bulldogs, and in the NFL. He is also a GREAT person. Run, Herschel, Run!”
Walker has been a big Trump supporter through the years, dating back to their time with the USFL’s New Jersey Generals. Walker attended the Republican National Convention over the summer to praise Trump. He said that the two had developed a “deep, personal friendship.”
Walker played for the Dallas Cowboys, Minnesota Vikings, Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants in the NFL. He is a Georgia native and played for the University of Georgia. So far, he has yet to express an interest in a political career.
But if Trump has any influence, perhaps Walker will run again, and this time, for something entirely new.
Herschel is a Georgia legend and would probably win easily, but I can’t imagine him running. He’s a no nonsense guy and there’s a shitload on nonsense in DC. Hopefully Trump can persuade him.
He’d probably go the way of Allen West. He didn’t last because he couldn’t stand the nonsense and corruption. In the end the impact honest men have in government, unfortunately, is minimal.
i don’t think Georgia can be saved.
can’t wait to see Georgians complain about Biden coming for their guns and pushing drivethru abortion clinics.
i can’t think of one single Georgia value that aligns with DC democrats and yet they joined them. just need stacy abrams to seal the deal. what a messed up state. decent airport and peach vodka. thats it.
This makes more sense when you look at it from the standpoint of a stolen election.
The dems cranked up the vote fraud machine nation wide and it worked. Just one state? A piece of cake.
Georgia blew it beg time not bringing back those two incumbent senators especially against two really radical weak lefties a big missed opportunity and I was a bit more than surprised but there ya go I do like Walker though
Big
Wish he would but afraid for his freedom if he had to suffer being around the self important asswipes in DC for long.He might loose control and give a couple what many of us would pay obscene money on PPV to watch.
Trump needs to stay the hell out of Georgia. He turned GA blue with all his bullshit from December-January.
But anyone is better than that awful Loefler that was an awful candidate.
Kemp turned GA blue.
Sorry, but if someone is too stupid to vote based on what matters, instead of based on what twitter says, it’s their fault they ruined Georgia.
Exactly
Don’t know why Herschel would do it, though he is much more qualified than Kelly Loeffler or either senator they have now!
Hershel is the one good thing UGA ever produced. The only one thing…but what a DAMN good thing.
Run Herschel run. My apologies to Lindsey.
Conservatives will not win again until absentee ballot schemes are thwarted. Very sad. Need to verify signatures
