Trump meltdown sparks GOP worry that he will drag down the party, sabotage Senate runoff in Georgia

Less than 1 percentage point separates Republican challenger Herschel Walker from Democratic incumbent Raphael Warnock in the Georgia Senate race. The winner may decide the Senate majority, which is poised to make the Dec. 6 runoff the most important election of the year for the GOP.

Mr. Trump could spoil it for the GOP, some conservatives speculate.
