Last night, Sen. Raphael Warnock defeated Republican candidate Herschel Walker in the Georgia Senate runoff election. It was predicted, and it came true.
To be fair, the prediction was relatively easy to make. One candidate was Sen. Raphael Warnock, a person with impressive skills, and the other was Herschel Walker, a man who does not have impressive skills outside of sports. So while Georgia’s red voters are pretty conservative, the fact that they could not get excited enough about this train wreck of a candidate is a source of stress for Republican pundits everywhere.
However, for the majority of Americans (and clearly the majority of Georgia voters), Herschel Walker and the Republican Party’s loss is reason enough to celebrate. Walker was such a cynical candidate to put forward, his strength being that Donald Trump once “fired” him on the Apprentice, and he was Black, that I will enjoy some gleeful gloating and some fun takes from around the social media world.
We need to do it now before conservatives begin their War on Christmas programming.

Can we have some music?

Do we have more details?
Remember this?
Also, anytime we can watch Newt Gingrich show off how poorly his big brain works is a win unto itself.
How about some jokes?
And some thanks.
How about some celebrating?
Let us remember that as bad as Herschel Walker was, and is, he can’t hold a candle to …
Finally, a video reminder of the last few months of Walker and his campaign.

Just called @SenatorWarnock to congratulate him on his win. Tonight Georgia voters stood up for our democracy, rejected Ultra MAGAism, and most importantly: sent a good man back to the Senate. Here’s to six more years. pic.twitter.com/ibx5aprVs3

And here’s a reminder of recent Republican offerings to Georgians:
Would “any other Republican” have beaten Warnock? Perhaps, but it’s not like “generic Republican” has had much success in Georgia senate races lately either pic.twitter.com/5nGLaTte15

Remember this?
With Herschel Walker’s runoff defeat, it’s time to point and laugh at Sean Hannity, who pulled him into the race and was his biggest supporter. https://t.co/fcANGtwdYn pic.twitter.com/Zw4sGVPims

Oh this is so satisfying, Newt salivating thinking' Walker's brief tiny lead was going to stick. https://t.co/xY8jw2MmY8

How about some jokes?
I bet they asked Herschel Walker if he was ready to make his concession speech, and he said, “Yes, two hot dogs please.” Congratulations @ReverendWarnock Thank you GA!??

Sure, most of the Celebrity Apprentice Republicans -- Herschel Walker, Dr. Oz, Kari Lake -- went down in hilarious flames this year, but I'm sure they'll have a whole new cast of contestants for the 2024 season. Kid Rock, Kristy Swanson, Silk, the Shamwow Guy ...

And some thanks.
A special thanks to @LindseyGrahamSC and @SenTedCruz for being a constant reminder of why Georgia should not vote for Walker. We couldn’t have done it without you! pic.twitter.com/KXuTAcaQmm

Herschel Walker was called the worst candidate in recent memory, but, per the traditions of democracy, he quickly conceded once his race was called—unlike reckless grifters like Kari Lake & Donald, who knew they could shakedown their gullible followers by pretending they won. pic.twitter.com/p5lusLlASL
