in Georgia's marquee Senate contest, just days before in-person early voting begins.
"Raphael Warnock will have to answer why he has voted 96% of the time with Joe Biden, giving us record-high inflation, all while doubling his own income," Walker aide Will Kiley said, previewing now-familiar assertions from Republicans.Warnock’s campaign manager, Quentin Fulks, wrote in a memo that the debate will highlight Walker’s "pattern of lies, disturbing behavior, and positions" that "prove he is not ready to represent Georgia in the U.S. Senate.
Walker has seized on that landscape, caricaturing Warnock as a rubber-stamp for the administration. Warnock’s answer has been to emphasize legislative accomplishments in Washington, with a focus on provisions he sponsored capping insulin and other health care costs for Medicare recipients, Democrats’ extension of the child tax credit and infrastructure provisions that Warnock shepherded with Republican colleagues.
Other reports, including from The Associated Press, have detailed how Walker has exaggerated his academic achievements, business success and his philanthropic activities, as well as accusations that he threatened the life of his ex-wife that go beyond details Walker himself acknowledged in a 2008 memoir and subsequent media interviews. Walker also acknowledged three of his children publicly for the first time only after earlier Daily Beast reporting.
