Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) attempted to stop Herschel Walker from running for senate.
He wanted a RINO to run instead.
Three prominent GA consultants engaged in informal talks with Walker this summer. But all three declined to work on his Senate campaign. Cornyn: “I want to win that race, and so I want the best nominee. I don't know whether he's it."

He has seemingly caved.
Mitch McConnell has now endorsed Herschel Walker.
This is a big blow to the RINOs in the GOP.
Georgia Senate candidate and ex-pro football player Herschel Walker has won the endorsement of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., cementing his support from the Republican Party in a race that could determine control of the chamber.
“Herschel is the only one who can unite the party, defeat Senator (Raphael) Warnock, and help us take back the Senate. I look forward to working with Herschel in Washington to get the job done,” McConnell said in a statement to Politico.
McConnell’s endorsement is his first for a non-incumbent in the 2022 elections, according to the news outlet.
The endorsement could help Walker lock down the GOP primary, where he faces several lesser-known opponents.
Walker entered the race with the backing of former President Donald Trump, who recruited him into the contest.
McConnell must be feeling the heat.
Trump has called for new GOP leadership in the Senate:
