Aweek after Election Day, Republican Herschel Walker and Democrat Raphael Warnock have returned to the campaign trail as their race to represent Georgia in the Senate spills into a Dec. 6 run-off since neither received above 50 percent of the vote. In a Monday rally, Walkeraccused of pressuring two former partners to have abortions and not seeing one of his four confirmed kids in yearsinexplicably chose to attack Warnock for his parenting.
[Warnock] paid himself for childcare, all that stuffwhy dont he keep his own kids? Dont have nobody keep your kids. You keep your kids. I keep my own, even though he lied about me, Walker said. Walker appears to be referencing reporting from earlier this year that Warnocks ex-wife, Ouluye Ndoye, filed a lawsuit for additional custody rights of their kids as well as a recalculation of his child support payments since his income increased after he was elected Senator in 2021. In August, the far-right outlet Breitbart News reported that Warnock had spent over $61,000 in campaign funds on childcare services.

Whats befuddling about Walkers chosen line of attack is that, put lightly, he doesnt really have a leg to stand on. Christian Walker, Walkers only publicly known child, has accused his father of threatening to kill him and his mother, forcing them to move homes several times for their safety. Multiple women have accused Walker of intimate partner violence. And one of the two women who says Walker paid for their abortions, despite his stated support for abortion bans, also has a child with him, telling the Daily Beast Walker hasnt seen their child in years. His communication with his young son, she claimed, was limited to sporadic texts, which she shared with the outlet, and occasional gifts.
The Daily Beast reporter who interviewed this woman said in a tweet that he showed her Walkers Monday remarks about Warnocks parenting, and she responded, That cannot be real.
