Contributing sentiments towards policy:

88% : Trump also labeled Walker "a successful businessman, philanthropist...and NFL Great."
61% : Trump announced the news on his social media platform Truth Social.
57% : He is also the latest example of how Trump is rewarding his loyalist -- regardless of how unqualified -- with government positions.
55% : "You will make Georgia, and our entire Nation, proud, because we know you will always put AMERICA FIRST!"Walker campaigned with Trump during the 2024 presidential race and like the President-elect, he possesses a controversial past which includes lying about his education and the fact that he paid for a woman's abortion despite being a vocal anti-abortion candidate.
30% : "Herschel Walker, violent, serial liar, deadbeat dad, who likely has brain damage per Newt Gingrich, hasn't seen his youngest son since 2016 & didn't raise any of his 4 kids by 4 moms was nominated to be ambassador to the Bahamas by Trump," she stated.
