The chair of the National Republican Senate Committee, Rick Scott, said in a statement that Republicans and Georgians will stand with Walker.

Scott compared the allegations against Walker to the treatment of Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh, who was accused of sexual assault after being nominated for the position.

Steven Law, the president of the Senate Leadership Fund, a super PAC aligned with Senate Minority LeaderMitch McConnell, said in a statement that he would make things better for the state.

Democrats know they are on the verge of losing the Senate, and they know Herschel Walker is going to win, so they have started a campaign of lies.

According to the New York Times, some Georgia GOP political strategists are worried about the scandal and how it will affect Walker's chances of winning the critical Senate race.

Key Background

The Daily Beast reported on Tuesday that Walker conceived a child with a woman he was dating in 2009, and asked her to have an abortion because he did not want the child at that time. According to the report, Walker paid her $700 for the proecedure. Walker, who has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump, has since filed a suit against the Daily Beast, claiming the story was a "defamatory lie" and that it was a "hatchet job from a democrat activist." Walker's son, Christian Walker, a right-wing TikTok star, has lambasted his father in response to the story in a series of social media posts.

In the wake of an abortion report, Rick Scott supports Herschel Walker.

The Republicans rallied behind Herschel Walker after the abortion report.
