Herschel Walker is having a very bad week
CNN
It's hard to overstate the risk Georgia Republicans took when they nominated Herschel Walker as the party's nominee against Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock.
The events of the last few days illustrate just how problematic Walker is as a candidate.

Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. They are betting that the unfiltered style that has brought Platner widespread attention as someone who could help Democrats reach young men will backfire with women.

As a shrinking number of Transportation Security Administration agents work to keep hourslong security lines moving despite not being paid, President Donald Trump stepped into the fray Saturday, announcing he will send Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to airports by Monday if Congress doesn’t agree to a plan to end the partial government shutdown.
