Herschel Walker Confronted by Grim Forecast on Election Day

Georgia voters will face poor weather conditions on Election Day, potentially impacting the close race between candidates Senator Raphael Warnock and Herschel Walker.

Republican candidate Walker is expected to lose the Georgia Senate runoff according to the latest opinion polls. Democrat Warnock holds a tentative lead.

Meteorologist Bryan Bachman shared the grim forecast for December 6 and noted the weather will be worst in the morning as voters head to the polls.

"Folks heading to the polls in Georgia for today's runoff election should be prepared for cool and soggy conditions," he tweeted.

"Rain will be at its worst early this morning, but leftover showers will be possible throughout the day. Expect highs to top the lows 50s."

Even though polls have predicted a victory for Warnock, they are by small margins.

A Data for Progress survey of 1,229 likely voters, conducted between December 1 and 5, showed Warnock ahead by 2 percentage points (51-49), with more people holding a favorable view of the Democrats than the GOP candidate for Georgia Senate.

A Trafalgar Group poll of 1,099 respondents conducted between December 3 and December 5 also showed Warnock ahead of Walker by 51.1 percent to 47.4 percent.

Another poll of 1,300 likely voters conducted by the UMass Lowell Center for Public Opinion between November 18 and November 28 showed Warnock ahead by 51 percent to Walker's 46 percent.

Former President Donald Trump has continued to endorse Walker in the lead up to the runoff. Should Walker lose, he will be the latest in a string of Trump-endorsed candidates to fail in the midterms.

In a post on Truth Social on Monday, Trump urged Georgians to get out and vote for his candidate.

"To the Great State of Georgia, Get Out and Vote for the WONDERFUL Herschel Walker TOMORROW." Trump wrote.

"Herschel was a fantastic Athlete,and he will be an even greater United States Senator!

"To all MAGA Voters, that is, people that want to Make America Great Again and Put America First, tomorrow is a big day. Vote for Herschel."

Walker has recently faced online mockery for stating that he did not know what a pronoun was as he complained about "wokeness" in the military.

In a video that has been viewed more than 800,000 times on Twitter, Walker said: "I told you early on that they said there was peace through strength, and our strength is our great military.

"But now they're bringing pronouns into our military, they're bringing wokeness into our military.

"I don't even know what the heck is a pronoun, I can tell you that. I'm sick and tired of this pronoun stuff. What I want our military men and women to do is to be at war fighting."
