Contributing sentiments towards policy:
82% : In his post Tuesday, Trump highlighted Walker's success in sports, noting that in addition to being an "NFL Great," he competed on the 1992 U.S. Olympic bobsledding team.71% : Trump said Walker, 62, "has spent decades serving as an Ambassador to our Nation's youth, our men and women in the Military, and athletes at home and abroad," and wrote that he will "make Georgia, and our entire Nation, proud, because we know you will always put AMERICA FIRST!" Walker, who served in a minor, health-related role in Trump's previous administration, has a long relationship with Trump, and the pick continues the president-elect's approach of choosing staunch allies to serve in his new administration.
47% : Trump can formally make the nomination once he is in office, and Walker will need to be confirmed by the Senate.
43% : We're tracking the people Trump has picked or is considering to fill his Cabinet and key positions in his administration.
40% : It seemed that Walker would appear in the new administration in some way; on the campaign trail, Trump suggested he might put Walker in charge of a new missile defense shield, Forbes reported.
26% : Donald Trump intends to nominate Herschel Walker, the former NFL player and Heisman Trophy winner who lost a scandal-ridden bid for Senate in 2022, as ambassador to the Bahamas, the president-elect announced on social media Tuesday evening.
22% : Trump backed the Heisman Trophy winner's failed 2022 Senate campaign in Georgia, which was plagued by scandals.
