Herschel Walker suggesting DeSantis would be more useful on the campaign trail than Trump.

Trump-endorsed candidates underperformed in the midterms, while DeSantis easily won a second term.

One GOP activist said DeSantis would be "a better fit for soft Republicans or independents in the suburbs."


Walker is due to face incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock in a run-off in December after both failed to secure over 50% of the vote.

Many Trump-endorsed candidates lost or underperformed in the midterm elections, while his rival DeSantis easily won a second term in Florida.

In particular, Georgia Republicans worry that Trump would put off suburban women and independents, whose votes will be critical in the state.

"I think that DeSantis is a better fit for soft Republicans or independents in the suburbs that we need to turn out,"


Erick Erickson, a Georgia-based conservative radio host who backed Trump in 2020, told CNN that support from DeSantis would be more useful in Georgia.

"Since Tuesday night, the No. 1 question I've been getting is, 'Is Trump going to screw this up?'" he said.
