Walker and Warnock Vie for Georgia's 'Exhausted' Voters

The race is in its final hours

Tens of millions of dollars in ad spending. Record-breaking early voting turnout. New allegations of domestic violence and carpetbagging against the Republican candidate.

All those features of the bitter, monthslong general election Senate campaign in Georgia between Republican Herschel Walker and Democratic incumbent Raphael Warnock have returned in the four weeks leading up to Tuesday's runoff. Given how the first round went, the deja vu could be bad news for Walker.
