LIZ PEEK: Herschel Walker just wrote Donald Trump's political obituary
Unhappily, the results are sometimes historic too. In the recent midterms, Joe Biden performed better than any incumbent in decades, losing only a minor number of seats in the House and retaining control of the senate.
These were people who never thought a candidate spoke for them. People felt left behind by both establishment Republicans and Democrats – who believed that D.C. was a swamp and that Trump could fix it. They liked his willingness to poke the special interests who had lobbied for free trade and cost them their jobs.
Few are shocked that Herschel Walker lost the Georgia senate race to Rafael Warnock. Walker was not a strong candidate; he had been hand-picked by Trump not because he could run a winning race, but because he was willing to back the former president’s claim that the 2020 election had been"stolen". His personal loyalty to Brand Trump mattered more than his political chops, which were slim.
