Former Georgia Bulldogs star and NFL running back Herschel Walker is running for a U.S. Senate seat in Georgia as a Republican, according to Stephen Fowler of NPR.
Per Greg Bluestein of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution: "a formal announcement is expected within days. He filed paperwork Tuesday with the Federal Election Commission establishing his candidacy, a move that came shortly after he registered to vote in Georgia."
Walker is an ally of former President Donald Trump, who has reportedly urged Walker to run for office and believes he would be "unstoppable" as a candidate.
