Georgia Democrat Sen.

The Georgia Senate race between incumbent Raphael Warnock and football great Herschel Walker has been a wild ride, and the first debate between the two, at moments, verged on parody.

“You can’t win ‘em all.” And while most were shocked by his choice of words, Seth Meyers wasn’t too phased, joking on Tuesday’s “Late Night” that Herschel Walker can’t even keep track of his kids.In a recent interview with the Financial Times, Musk was asked about being disowned by his teenage transgender daughter. First, he blamed “neo-Marxists” for their estranged relationship, but was mostly cavalier about it, saying in full, “[The relationship with my daughter] may change, but I have very good relationships with all the others.

I’ve always thought being in politics required a certain degree of shamelessness. You have to be able to embrace an opponent you just spent the primary campaign trashing as an unfit human being.  You have to be able to flip-flop on an issue when the pressure gets too great while pretending there’s no change at all.  You have to be able to take credit for things you had nothing to do with and deflect scandal by saying there’s nothing to see here.

Herschel Walker said he did not know who is the mother of one of his children had to repeatedly beg the former NFL star to send her money for the abortion he urged her to have in 2009.

Sen. Rick Scott, the chair of the Senate GOP's election arm, and Sen.Tom Cotton, R-Ark., will travel to Georgia for a Tuesday event supporting Herschel Walker, the first major campaign stop following accusations that the Republican Senate nominee paid for an ex-girlfriend's abortion a decade ago.
