Former President Donald Trump and the Republican Party stood by Herschel Walker, the GOP nominee for Senate in Georgia after a media report alleged that the pro-life candidate paid for a woman’s abortion in 2009.
Trump said Walker—whom he called a patriot and an “American First” candidate in his 2021 endorsement—has been “slandered and maligned by the Fake News Media and obviously, the Democrats,” according to a statement issued through the Save America political action committee on Oct. 4 and shared on the former president’s Truth Social account.
