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.
