“People want me to decide right now, and I said, ‘Guys, I’m going to take my time because this is a very serious, serious thing.”
“But I will tell you this: Herschel Walker believes in God, I believe in this country, I believe in the people, and I’m going to fight for the people of Georgia if I run, so just stay tuned. … It’s going to be exciting.”
“Having an ID is a basic thing you gotta have.”

“Losing friends has been a big cost.”

“How could in a country like America you disagree with someone that you now want to injure that person or you just don’t want to talk to them no more?”

“I love the Lord Jesus Christ and when I start seeing the Democratic Party, and I want to say ‘the other party,’ when I start seeing them not want to talk about God and removing God, and then I saw the BLM burning a cross and also burning the Holy Bible and burning a flag, and that’s not something I want to be a part of. I’m not that.”
More from The Daily Wire:
If he were to run, Walker said that his platform would be bringing America back together. As reported by the Washington Examiner, Walker is one of the top picks to challenge Warnock, with a recent poll showing “the Trump favorite narrowly defeating the incumbent Democrat in a head-to-head contest.”
Walker endorsed Trump at the Republican National Convention, after which, he claimed, his outspoken support for the president cost him friendships.
As to why he does not support the Democratic Party, Walker said their extremism pushed him away.
