Walker is running as a Republican and is expected to have the backing of former President Donald Trump. Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black, along with military veterans Kelvin King and Latham Saddler, have already launched their campaigns for the Republican nomination.

Black tweeted this video about Walker running for U.S. Senate.
