Oops! Herschel Walker advised Donald Trump’s campaign to vote for the wrong person

Oops! Herschel Walker advised Donald Trump’s campaign to vote for the wrong person

Former NFL star turned failed GOP Senate candidate Herschel Walker accidentally endorsed the wrong Trump during a campaign rally for former President Donald Trump in Georgia on Sunday.

Walker first urged people to vote for Donald Trump Jr., the Republican nominee’s eldest son.

“It’s time for this to stop, and it will stop on Tuesday when we get to the polls and vote for my friend and your friend Donald Trump Jr.,” Walker said.

As the crowd applauded, Walker corrected himself and clarified, saying, “Donald Trump. Donald J. Trump.” He then left the stage.

Watch from 02:22:00 here:

Walker lost in a runoff election to Sen. Raphael Warnock (D) in the Georgia Senate race in 2022. Trump was a vocal supporter of Walker, but his campaign was marred by harsh criticism from his own son and allegations of previously forced women to have abortions.

The former athlete’s defeat gave Democrats a 51-seat majority in the Senate.

Trump, meanwhile, told an audience in Georgia that he would put Walker in charge of a “missile defense shield” if he beats Democratic rival Kamala Harris in Tuesday’s presidential election.

“We’ll put Herschel Walker in charge of this little idiot,” he said.

Here’s how X (formerly Twitter) users reacted to the misspelling of Walker’s name:
