Walker said he's going to keep fighting because his opponent has not represented Georgians in Washington. Walker says all Warnock has done is represent President Biden.
"He's a follower. He's followed Joe Biden 96% of the time. In two years look what he's done and he wants six more years? We can't recover from that," said Walker.

Both candidates agree it’s going to be a rough fight to the finish.
"They're going to throw every dollar at us they can, every lie, every attack, but we have the truth and hope for the future," said Warnock.
"He's thinking he's going to win, we need to prove him wrong," said Walker.
Not only could this be an ugly campaign for the next four weeks, it will also be an expensive one. Fox News reports, Walker has already hauled in more than $3 million for his senate runoff campaign.
