1. Herschel Walker at podium as crowd chants UPSOUND: "Herschel!"
HEADLINE: Herschel Walker: 'You got to get out and vote'
ANNOTATION: Republican US Senate candidate Herschel Walker and Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock of Georgia face each other in a runoff election on December 6.
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Herschel Walker, (R) US Senate candidate from Georgia:
"It don't matter what we are, it don't matter what we are. But what I do know we are, we are Americans, that's what matters. That we are all Americans and that's what we need to get back to. We need to get back to, we need to get back to being an American rather than being something else because that's what they are trying to do. Dividing. That's dividing, when they're dividing you, that's how they conquer. But I want us to wake up to it, that's what you have got to do, you got to get out and vote. You got to get out and vote because, you know, he hung around, he hung around and got into this runoff and he's thinking he's going to win. We need to prove him wrong and let him get out of that office. He don't deserve to be in that office representing Georgia."

STORYLINE:
Republican US Senate candidate Herschel Walker on Thursday told his supporters to go out and vote in Georgia's runoff election next month.
Walker and Democratic U.S. Senator Raphael Warnock are facing each other in a runoff election after the two candidates finished less than 1 percentage point apart after election day and neither topped 50%.
With votes still being counted in Senate contests in Arizona and Nevada, the single December 6 runoff in Georgia could either decide majority control - as did the state's twin runoffs in 2021 - or further pad one party's advantage.
The campaign is likely to draw multiple high-profile surrogates, similar to when both of Georgia's Senate seats headed to runoff elections in 2020.
