Raphael Warnock\u2019s (D) upcoming re-election bid.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking with Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business this past Sunday, Walker said that he and his family have been praying and will be thinking long and hard about running for the U.S. Senate seat in a state that has now become a magnet of controversy as leftists claim a new Jim Crow has arisen due to its newly-signed voter integrity law.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m very honored that they would consider me running for the Senate, and my family, we\u2019re still going through this process of praying and really considering it,\u201d Walker told Bartiromo. \u201cPeople want me to decide right now, and I said, \u2018Guys, I\u2019m going to take my time because this is a very serious, serious thing. But I will tell you this: Herschel Walker believes in God, I believe in this country, I believe in the people, and I\u2019m going to fight for the people of Georgia if I run, so just stay tuned. \u2026 It\u2019s going to be exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Being a Georgia native, Walker also rebuked the Left\u2019s assertion that Georgia\u2019s voter integrity law as racist.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving an ID is a basic thing you gotta have,\u201d he said. \u201d Right now, my grandfather, today, would be over 117 years old, and he had a driver\u2019s license. Everyone born in America got a birth certificate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If he were to run, Walker said that his platform would be bringing America back together. As reported by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/herschel-walker-considering-senate-bid-georgia\">Washington Examiner<\/a>, Walker is one of the top picks to challenge Warnock, with a recent poll <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/herschel-walker-favorite-warnock-poll\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">showing <\/a>\u201cthe Trump favorite narrowly defeating the incumbent Democrat in a head-to-head contest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"NFL legend challenges companies, CEOs to help people get voter IDs\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pTXBJqH4a5Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"Enhancement-item\" readability=\"38.277470355731\">\n<p>Walker endorsed Trump at the Republican National Convention, after which, he claimed, his outspoken support for the president <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/herschel-walker-i-lost-some-friends-due-to-trump-support\">cost him friendships<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn society today, if you\u2019ve got a black friend, oh, jeez you\u2019re like king,\u2019\u2019 Walker said.&nbsp;\u201cBut not one time has (Trump) asked me to speak for him. I don\u2019t even think he knew I was going to speak this time. I\u2019m the one that asked.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLosing friends has been a big cost,\u2019\u2019 he added. \u201cI lost some friends, and that\u2019s what\u2019s so strange about it. How could in a country like America you disagree with someone that you now want to injure that person or you just don\u2019t want to talk to them no more? Where did it get that you become a country like that?\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>As to why he does not support the Democratic Party, Walker said their extremism pushed him away.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love the Lord Jesus Christ and when I start seeing the Democratic Party, and I want to say \u2018the other party,\u2019 when I start seeing them not want to talk about God and removing God, and then I saw the BLM burning a cross and also burning the Holy Bible and burning a flag, and that\u2019s not something I want to be a part of. I\u2019m not that,\u201d Walker said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/herschel-walker-i-lost-some-friends-due-to-trump-support\">Herschel Walker: \u2018I Lost Some Friends\u2019 Due To Trump&nbsp;Support<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former football star and proud Trump supporter Herschel Walker is now considering a U.S. Senate run in the state of Georgia to challenge Sen.
