He was very unassuming.\u201d Others featured in the clip praise Walker as \u201can inspiration\u201d and assert that \u201cnot being a politician works in his favor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The super PAC behind the ad is called 34N22, a nod to Walker\u2019s college football jersey number. The group is spending $50,000 on the purchase and is aiming for the ad to reach independent voters in Georgia who are \u201cneeded to get Herschel across the finish line\u201d in his Senate race, 34N22 spokesman Stephen Lawson told Breitbart News.<\/p>\n<p>Walker is the frontrunning Republican candidate in the Georgia Senate race and enjoys the backing of former President Donald Trump, as well as the name recognition he acquired from his University of Georgia football days, when he achieved athletic stardom by winning the prestigious Heisman Trophy and going on to play in the NFL.<\/p>\n<p>Walker\u2019s closest opponent at this stage in the Republican primary race is Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black, but a recent Quinnipiac poll&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" title=\"This external link will open in a new window\" href=\"https:\/\/poll.qu.edu\/poll-release?releaseid=3833\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">found<\/a>&nbsp;Black in a very distant second-place to Walker, receiving six percent support compared to Walker\u2019s 81 percent.<\/p>\n<p>A hypothetical general election matchup between Walker and incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) presents a much tighter race, according to that same poll, which found Walker and Warnock statistically tied.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGeorgia Republicans are solidly united behind Herschel Walker, and 34N22\u2019s focus is on sharing Herschel\u2019s background as a political outsider, successful job creator, and consensus builder with independent and swing voters who will decide this election,\u201d Lawson said in a statement.&nbsp;\u201cFrom skyrocketing inflation to rampant crime and a crisis at the border, it\u2019s clear that Raphael Warnock isn\u2019t working\u2014and it\u2019s time to send Herschel Walker to to deliver real results for the people of Georgia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Write to Ashley Oliver at <a href=\"mailto:aoliver@breitbart.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">aoliver@breitbart.com<\/a>.
