Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) this week launched what could be a simple but devastatingly effective offensive ad against Donald Trump’s endorsed rival, Herschel Walker, in the US Senate runoff. Released.
Warnock’s spot just featured the enthusiastic backing of former NFL star Walker, whom Trump describes as a “great guy” and “a great human being.”
Watch the video here:
CNN’s Chris Wallace said Friday that the ad was “quite amazing.”
“It’s just playing Trump’s endorsement of Walker, and obviously the Warnock camp feels that this is an albatross, as you say,” he told colleague Don Lemon. It’s Walker’s fault, not a plus.”
Trump has ignored Republican requests to delay his 2024 candidacy announcement until after the December 6 runoff election. In the end, the Democrats regained the Senate.
Many conservatives have blamed Trump for the party’s poor performance in the 2022 midterm elections.
