Tuesday’s runoff election in Georgia tests Trump’s clout one more time before 2024 race gets rolling

Republicans Tuesday concluded a 72-hour push to galvanize GOP voters in Georgia’s Senate runoff, where Herschel Walker, one of former President Trump’s most prominent endorsements, will test Mr. Trump’s hold over the party one last time before the 2024 presidential campaign ramps up.

Mr. Walker, 60, is facing Democratic incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock, 53, who won the seat in a 2021 special election and is seeking a full term.

Polls show Mr. Walker consistently lagging behind Mr. Warnock and a loss would serve as a final black eye for Mr. Trump in what was a bitterly disappointing midterm election for the GOP.
