With its 16 electoral votes, it could give either candidate a lead.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We will build a missile defense shield all made in the USA, wrapped around our country to defend ourselves and our country,&rdquo; Trump said. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s all going to be made in the United States, a lot of it in your great state. We&rsquo;ll put Herschel Walker in charge of that little sucker, OK?&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Walker lost to Warnock 48.6% to 51.4% in 2022. That same year, Gov.
