Former Dallas Cowboys running back Herschel Walker is representing the Republican Party in Georgia during the mid-term elections. He was touted to become the next Senator of Georgia, the place where he played college football, but so far it has been a tough battle.
As of Wednesday morning, Walker is trailing by roughly 35,000 votes to Raphael Warnock, who is representing the Democrats.
The elections in Georgia have been tightly contested over the years, and the story is the same this year. Herschel Walker has won around 1.9 million votes so far, while Warnock is leading with 1.935 million votes.
The former Cowboys running back was quite confident in himself ahead of the election and it seems like this race will head to a runoff. Neither candidate has been able to secure over 50% of votes so far, and due to this, a clear-cut winner is unlikely to be decided. It will be interesting to see what the outcome of the election will be as many people are rooting for Walker to become the new Senate of Georgia.
What is Herschel Walker's net worth?
The former Georgia Bulldogs and Dallas Cowboys running back has an estimated net worth of $10 million. He started his football career in the USFL but later moved to the NFL. He played for the likes of the Dallas Cowboys, Minnesota Vikings, Philadelphia Eagles, and New York Giants.
Walker was a Heisman trophy winner while playing for Georgia and people have many fond memories of the running back.
Herschel Walker's NFL stats
Walker played 12 seasons in the NFL while representing the four teams mentioned above. In his career, Walker had 1,954 carries for 8,225 yards, 512 catches for 4,859 yards, and recorded 84 total touchdowns. He was selected to play in two Pro Bowls.
While his chances of winning the election in Georgia are up in the air, he did put up a great fight. Not many expected this many people would vote for the former Bulldogs running back. If neither Walker nor Warnock surpasses the 50% threshold, they will proceed to a December 6 run-off.
