Republican Herschel Walker conceded defeat in his Georgia runoff for a Senate seat against Raphael Warnock on Tuesday. Walker said: ‘There’s no excuses in life. And I’m not going to make any excuses now because we put up one heck of a fight. That’s what we got to do.’
Walker told his supporters at the College Football Hall of Fame in downtown Atlanta to continue to ‘believe in America and its elected officials, thanking them for their prayers and efforts. ‘I said, ‘you guys, I’ve done a lot of stuff. You talk about Heisman Trophy, talk about all the athletic award, business awards I’ve won. But the best thing I’ve ever done in my whole entire life is run for this Senate seat right here”
