Walker Attends Another Closed-Door Event As Georgia Republicans Continue to Fret About Walker’s Run, “Where He Stands On The Issues”

Tonight, Herschel Walker will join a closed-door conservative panel hosted by radio host Hugh Hewitt under a cloud of criticism from Georgia Republicans for not answering basic questions and sticking to a “largely behind closed doors” campaign throughout his first 50 days in the race. 

Walker’s “pattern of staying mum on most key issues” and his avoidance of “voters who may have questions,” — opting instead for “tightly controlled events” like private fundraisers with high-dollar conservative donors — has left many Georgia Republicans frustrated.

• “I’ve never heard [Walker’s] position on a lot of these issues that are conservative issues.” said former Republican congressman and 2020 Senate candidate Doug Collins, criticizing Walker’s campaign rollout for being “very low on policies and beliefs.” 

• “There’s a lot of uncertainty still,” said Alpharetta Republican activist Julie Woods Hill. “I just don’t know where he stands on the issues.” 

• “How long can Herschel continue to operate without… answering questions?” asked Eric Tanenblatt, a veteran Georgia GOP strategist.

• “There is a problem with Herschel that his team does not want us to know about,” said a spokesman for fellow GOP candidate Gary Black about Walker’s failure to provide answers for the issues on Georgia voters’ minds.

By running a closed-door campaign, Walker can avoid tough questions about his unwavering support for President Trump and harmful policies like opposing tax cuts for middle-class Georgians, ripping away health care coverage for Georgians with pre-existing conditions, and refusing to support an infrastructure plan that would create jobs in Georgia.
