As The Associated Press reported: When his book was released, she told ABC News that at one point during their marriage, her husband pointed a pistol at her head and said, Im going to blow your fing brains out.

Now, after months of not seriously challenging Walker, some Georgia Republicans are waking up to the reality that they may have made a grave mistake and that he is likely to lose if he advances to the general election.

And they have only Donald Trump to blame. Walkers campaign was all Trumps doing and at Trumps urging.

Raphael Warnock became the first Black senator in Georgias history, as well as the first popularly elected Black Democratic senator from the South, because of Black voters, who voted him into office just one day before rioters stormed the Capitol. In fact, Black voters were the majority of the coalition that elected him, according to exit polls the first time that was the case for any Black senator.

The results of Warnocks race, along with Jon Ossoffs simultaneous runoff election, tipped the balance of the Senate and sent shock waves through Georgias political establishment.

Within months, state Republicans were speculating about Walker challenging Warnock in 2022.

As The Atlanta Journal-Constitution wrote last summer about what then was still a potential run by Walker: Herschel Walker hasnt lived in Georgia for decades. Hes never held public office, doesnt attend the sort of Republican events that are mainstays on the political calendar and has bypassed the backslapping fund-raising circuit that helps decide winners and losers in the states premier races.

But none of those obstacles got in the way. Trump weighed in last March, writing in a statement: Wouldnt it be fantastic if the legendary Herschel Walker ran for the United States Senate in Georgia? The statement continued, He would be unstoppable, just like he was when he played for the Georgia Bulldogs, and in the N.F.L. He is also a GREAT person. Run Herschel, run!
