‘I’m not that smart’: Herschel Walker sets low expectations ahead of debate with Raphael Warnock
.
Although incumbent Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock and Republican challenger Herschel Walker — the main candidates in Georgia’s 2022 U.S. Senate race — have exchanged plenty of barbs, they haven’t had a formal debate. But that will change on Friday, October 14, when Warnock and Walker have agreed to debate one another.
Warnock, often described as a great public speaker, is expected to outperform Walker in the debate. But Walker may have a trick up his sleeve: setting expectations low and then overperforming.
In an interview with the Savannah Morning News, Walker admitted that Warnock is a better speaker — and he wasn’t shy about making self-deprecating comments.

“I am getting out talking to people and talking to you (referring to the media),” Walker told the Morning News. “I’m a country boy. I’m not that smart. He’s a preacher. (Warnock) is smart and wears these nice suits. So, he is going to show up and embarrass me at the debate October 14, and I’m just waiting to show up. And I will do my best.”
