Herschel Walker, the former football star who has the backing of former President Donald Trump, launched a campaign Tuesday for a U.S. Senate seat in Georgia. Walker will be the most well-known Republican running against Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) in next year’s contest.

Walker filed paperwork Tuesday with the Federal Election Commission establishing his candidacy and recently registered to vote in Georgia, but he is yet to make a formal announcement or get his campaign website up and running.
