Herschel Walker Has Confirmed He Had a Kid With His Accuser

Source: Daily Beast

While spouting off nonsensical explanations during a gaggle on Thursday afternoon, the Senate hopeful likely didn't realize he confirmed he indeed has a child with his accuser.

GOP Senate candidate Herschel Walker’s attempt to answer reporter questions Thursday about whether he paid for an ex-girlfriend’s abortion crashed and burned, as he implied in rambling responses that he has not confirmed that the ex-girlfriend was the mother of one of his children.

The problem with that explanation? Walker has, in fact, confirmed that this woman is the mother of one of his kids. He did so to The Daily Beast in June, when we first broke the story about an undisclosed child.

Asked whether he’d reached out to any of the mothers of his children, Walker replied, “Why do I need to?”

A majority of GOP nominees -- 299 in all -- deny the 2020 election results
Source: Washington Post
A majority of Republican nominees on the ballot this November for the House, Senate and key statewide offices — 299 in all — have denied or questioned the outcome of the last presidential election, according to a Washington Post analysis.

Candidates who have challenged or refused to accept Joe Biden’s victory are running in every region of the country and in nearly every state. Republican voters in four states nominated election deniers in all federal and statewide races The Post examined.

Although some are running in heavily Democratic areas and are expected to lose, most of the election deniers nominated are likely to win: Of the nearly 300 on the ballot, 174 are running for safely Republican seats. Another 51 will appear on the ballot in tightly contested races.

The implications will be lasting: If Republicans take control of the House, as many political forecasters predict, election deniers would hold enormous sway over the choice of the nation’s next speaker, who in turn could preside over the House in a future contested presidential election. The winners of all the races examined by The Post — those for governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, attorney general, Senate and House — will hold some measure of power overseeing American elections.
