‘I live in Texas’: Herschel Walker speech adds to Georgia Senate run problems

Republican candidate's reference to his out-of-state home opens him to same attacks that dogged Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania

In a campaign speech earlier this year, Herschel Walker, the Republican candidate for US Senate in Georgia, said: I live in Texas."

Walker will face the Democratic incumbent, Raphael Warnock, in a runoff next Tuesday, a contest triggered after Warnock received the most votes on election day but did not pass 50% of the vote. Polling puts the two candidates near-level, with early voting at record levels.
