Name recognition from his football stardom at the University of Georgia and an endorsement from former President Donald Trump proved more impactful than a controversial past as Herschel Walker decisively won the Georgia Republican U.S. Senate primary on May 24.

Walker received 68.2 percent of the vote, with 95 percent of the votes counted by May 25.
