McConnell-aligned Senate GOP group shelling out $14 million to boost Herschel Walker in Georgia runoff

The top outside group that supports Senate Republicans is spending $14.2 million to run ads in Georgia's Senate runoff election supporting GOP challenger Herschel Walker
Walker finished roughly 35,000 votes behind Warnock out of nearly 4 million votes cast in last week’s Senate election in the crucial southeastern battleground state. The Georgia Secretary of State Office announced last Wednesday that the Senate election was headed to a Dec. 6 runoff since no candidate received over 50% of the vote.
Under Georgia law, if no candidate tops 50% of the vote in the general election, the two top vote-getters go to a runoff, which this cycle will be held four weeks after Election Day on Dec. 6. According to unofficial returns, Warnock received 49.4% of the vote, Walker 48.5%, and Libertarian Chase Oliver 2.1%.
