Herschel Walker, the University of Georgia football legend now running for the U.S. Senate, has broken ranks with his most powerful backer, former President Donald Trump.
Asked whether he supported Trump's contention that Republicans shouldn't vote in upcoming elections because of Trump's claims of election fraud — claims which have been continuously dismissed, including by members of his own administration — Walker said "that is not the right message."
Election officials and courts across the country have thoroughly and consistently debunked Trump's claims of election fraud, at the local, state and federal level. However, Trump has continued to voice the idea that the election was stolen from him, and last week he made a proclamation via his email mailing list that indicated he wouldn't be letting go of the issue anytime soon.
