Raphael Warnock (D-GA).<\/p>\n<p>Walker said he did not believe the move would prevent him from winning.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cRight now, I\u2019m in a tough race,\u201d he said. \u201cI think they\u2019re trying to help out my opponent, which is OK because I\u2019m going to beat him anyway. It\u2019s sort of like, what\u2019s good for me is not good for thee, and I think all that they\u2019re doing. But it is OK \u2014 the bad policies that they\u2019re doing right now. The people are sort of waking up now and know it. This administration is not doing what\u2019s great for the state of Georgia, what\u2019s great for this country. So, I\u2019m OK with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Walker said he had not considered legal action against the Biden administration and said despite claims his run for the U.S. Senate while holding the fitness council post violated the Hatch Act, he was not being paid in the position.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI really haven\u2019t,\u201d he replied. \u201cI\u2019ve advocated for kids my whole life. And first of all, I\u2019m not paid on this. That\u2019s what\u2019s so funny. I was not paid at all. So, I\u2019m going to continue to advocate for kids, but I\u2019m going to continue to go out and win the Senate seat, and maybe I can go out and do even more, and they may not be happy with that as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Jeff Poor on Twitter <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/jeff_poor\">@jeff_poor<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Friday on Newsmax TV\u2019s \u201cSpicer &#038; Co.,\u201d Georgia U.S. Senate candidate Herschel Walker suggested the Biden administration was using its call for his resignation from the Sports &#038; Fitness Council<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":30,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1401825","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1401825","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/30"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1401825"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1401825\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1401825"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1401825"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1401825"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
