Herschel Walker raises $3.7 million in bid to unseat Georgia's Warnock

Former University of Georgia and NFL star Herschel Walker raised $3.7 million in the first five weeks of his U.S. Senate campaign, according to a release from his campaign.

Walker jumped into the Georgia Senate race in late August after former President Trump encouraged him to run in the GOP primary. Mr. Trump endorsed Walker shortly after the former running back launched his campaign.

Walker's campaign said he raised the money from nearly 50,000 donors across all 50 states. More details about Walker's haul should come by Friday, the deadline to file paperwork with the Federal Elections Commission.

"We are overwhelmed by the support from nearly 50,000 Americans who love this country and want to help our campaign," Walker said in a statement. "We are grateful for each and every cent and look forward to continuing to travel across this great state shaking hands with real Georgians and hearing about the issues facing their communities."

If there's a debate maybe one of his personalities will share with us why he attempted suicide.
