Walker said it was one thing that people did not know about his race.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne thing that people don\u2019t know is President Trump never asked me,\u201d Walker said. \u201cI need to tell him that he never asked. I heard it all on television that he\u2019s going to ask Herschel, saying Hershel is going to run. President Trump never came out and said \u2018Herschel, will you run for that Senate seat?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, I\u2019m mad at him, because he never asked, but he\u2019s taking credit that he asked,\u201d Walker added. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/05\/24\/herschel-walker-wins-georgia-senate-gop-primary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: Herschel Walker Wins Georgia Senate GOP Primary)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>In March of 2021, Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/03\/10\/donald-trump-herschel-walker-senate-georgia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">encouraged<\/a> the football legend to run for Senate in Georgia putting out a statement from the Save America PAC that read: \u201cWouldn\u2019t it be fantastic if the legendary Herschel Walker ran for the United States Senate in Georgia?
