The pastor v the football player: can Raphael Warnock tackle Herschel Walker?

Georgia in focus: Warnock's fundraising is impressive, though the Democratic senator lacks the name recognition his scandal-prone opponent

When Democrat Raphael Warnock won his election last year, he celebrated his success as a reflection of America's promise.

Only in this country could the son of a Black woman who once spent her summers picking cotton experience such a dramatic rise, becoming the first African American to represent Georgia in the US Senate, Warnock told his supporters. He implored his new constituents,in the wake of a historically divisive campaign season, to embrace the values that made his win possible.
