Republicans are supporting Walker's candidacy. They want to present him as a simple country boy in order to appeal to a stereotype of rural Blacks in Georgia.

They are painting a picture of Warnock as an elite who can't relate to ordinary people. So they don't give a damn about issues. They just want to present images for people to relate to.

I don't believe that it will work.
