Before becoming a senator from Georgia in 2020, Democrat Raphael Warnock, 53, was a pastor who delivered sermons from the pulpit of the Atlanta church where Martin Luther King officiated.
Raphael Warnock was first elected in 2021 against outgoing Senator Kelly Loeffler, supported by Donald Trump, and thus became the first black elected to the Senate to represent Georgia, a once segregationist southern state.
Herschel Walker, 60, entered politics late with his Senate bid, which received the blessing of Donald Trump.
With several records to his credit, he is considered one of the best players in college football history.
During the campaign, he staunchly defended the anti-abortion cause, even in cases of rape, but a woman accused him of having pushed her to have an abortion in 1991, when he was still married.
A second woman claims that after having an abortion for the first time during a relationship with Herschel Walker, he asked her to have a second abortion two years later. But she decided not to.
