The Georgia Senate runoff is a referendum on Trump's zombie grasp on America (Robert Reich)
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/dec/06/georgia-senate-runoff-warnock-walker-robert-reichThe biggest loser in a Raphael Warnock victory won’t be his Republican rival, Herschel Walker. It will be Donald Trump
Trump encouraged Walker to run. Before Walker announced his campaign, Trump loudly hinted that the former NFL star was considering entering the race. Earlier this year, Trump went to Georgia to stump for him.
But after the 2022 midterms, when so many Trump-endorsed candidates flamed out, Walker’s campaign asked Trump to please stay away.
No more endorsements, rallies, stumps or joint appearances. Grudgingly, Trump complied. But his corpulent shadow has continued to dog Walker’s slipshod campaign.
In many respects, Georgia is becoming Trump’s Waterloo.
