Former NFL running back Herschel Walker’s bid for a Senate seat in Georgia isn’t over yet.
The Republican nominee and Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock is projected to go to a runoff on Dec. 6, after neither candidate accumulated 50% of the votes needed to win the race under state law. According to The New York Times, Walker has 48.52% of the votes while Warnock had 49.42% as of Wednesday afternoon.
In brief remarks Tuesday night, Walker asked supporters gathered in a hotel ballroom to “hang in there a little bit longer,” according to CNN.
