He has an announcement scheduled for 9 p.m. at his Mar-a-Lago resort.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u00a0But the expected move has baffled Trump allies and other Republicans alike as the political world focuses in on Georgia, where Walker is set to take on Sen. Raphael Warnock (D) on Dec. 6.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u201cNo, it doesn\u2019t help,\u201d one GOP strategist with Trump World ties told The Hill. \u201cThe 2022 midterms are not over and anything that takes away the ability to fundraise, to get the message out there, to keep the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> and the journalists focused on this race, is bad for the Republican Party as a whole.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Jason Miller, a top adviser to the former president, said late last week that Trump should push back his official foray into the 2024 GOP primary, telling <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a>max that \u201cpriorities A, B and C need to be about Herschel right now.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u201cThis is bigger than anything else in the country. We\u2019ve got to show the focus is on Georgia,\u201d Miller said. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0A day later, however, Miller said Trump would indeed move ahead with the campaign reveal and that it will be \u201ca very professional, very buttoned-up announcement.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Miller is not alone in having concerns. Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who is also said to be considering a presidential bid, on Monday tweeted the GOP should have \u201cone focus\u201d \u2014 helping out Walker \u2014 and added that he is \u201call in.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u00a0The chatter surrounding Trump\u2019s planned announcement comes with three weeks to go until the Georgia race, in which Walker is a minor underdog against the incumbent Democrat. Warnock topped Walker by 35,000 votes, or about 0.9 percentage points, in last week\u2019s contest but was unable to eclipse the necessary 50 percent marker to avoid a runoff. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Republicans are still wondering what Trump\u2019s involvement in the race will be, but the former president is almost certain to be a factor.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of runoffs in the state in January 2021, Trump held two rallies to support then-Sens. David Perdue (R) and Kelly Loeffler (R) \u2014 who went on to lose to Sen. Jon Ossoff (D) and Warnock, respectively. \u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Some Republicans blamed Trump for the losses, believing his claims of a rigged and stolen presidential election prompted potential GOP voters to stay home.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now, as some Republicans in part blame Trump again for the party\u2019s underwhelming showing in the midterm elections, the level of Trump\u2019s involvement could be telling, including whether MAGA Inc., his super PAC, will spend to boost Walker. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>MAGA Inc. spent $3.4 million on ads supporting Walker in the final month of the campaign. By contrast, Trump\u2019s Save America PAC spent $4.4 million on ads targeting Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) ahead of his primary romp this year over Perdue. \u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u00a0\u201cThat PAC needs to be spending a ton of money to help in Georgia,\u201d the strategist with Trump World ties said. \u201cThis race cannot come down to Trump versus Warnock, and the more forward facing he puts himself into the race, the more it becomes Trump vs Warnock or the media rather than Walker vs Warnock or the media. That\u2019s the race we\u2019re trying to win right now.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u201cI haven\u2019t heard of any Republican who wants Trump to step up in a forward-facing way to get involved in the Georgia election,\u201d the strategist added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Adding to the GOP\u2019s issues in the Peach State, the contest will no longer determine control of the Senate, diminishing the stakes \u2014 and the incentive for some Republicans to go to the polls.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Democrats retained the Senate majority over the weekend when Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) defeated former state Attorney <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General<\/a> Adam Laxalt (R). \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Walker also will also be bereft of the benefit of having Kemp on top of the ticket. Kemp defeated Democrat Stacey Abrams last week to win reelection and cleared 50 percent, meaning that Walker will not have the governor\u2019s coattails atop the ticket as he did last week.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u201cWhy would it possibly be more favorable for Herschel in the first week of December?\u201d one GOP operative said about the looming runoff. \u201cWarnock has never trailed on a ballot the 3 times voters have been presented with him as a general election candidate for Senate.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Some Republicans argue that Trump sidestepping the Georgia race would be foolhardy, as Walker still needs any and all supporters in the ruby-red rural counties to turn out for him, something Trump can help with. They also say Trump delaying his launch is unrealistic given that lawmakers are calling for leadership elections to be pushed back or conducted on time because of the runoff.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would make an argument that it can be helpful. The Trump factor in this is baked in,\u201d said a second GOP operative with Trump ties. \u201cIt\u2019s not like voters are like, \u2018Oh I wonder if Herschel Walker and Donald Trump are connected.\u2019 It\u2019s not like you can separate the two, so why not get the benefit of it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s fair for everyone to leverage Georgia for their own political interests and not expect to do the same,\u201d the operative added.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
