Former Republican U.S. Senate candidate Herschel Walker mistakenly told voters to vote on Tuesday for “Donald Trump Jr.” and “Jonald J. Trump.”
Speaking at a campaign rally for former President Donald Trump in Macon, Georgia, on Sunday, the former NFL running back encouraged the audience to cast their votes.
“And it is time for it to stop, and it stops on Tuesday when we vote for my friend, and your friend, Donald Trump Jr.—Donald Trump. Jonald J. Trump,” Walker said, before walking off the stage.
A clip of the flub was posted on X by user @Acyn, a senior digital editor for the Trump-critical news network MeidasTouch Sunday night. It had been viewed 3 million times by Monday morning.
It was reposted by several prominent accounts, including Vice President Kamala Harris‘s campaign account @KamalaHQ, and the official account for campaign group Republicans against Trump, garnering over 1 million additional views.
Freelance writer Louis Peitzman wrote on X, “Bringing back Herschel Walker is the kind of s*** I would do if I were trying to lose an election but what do I know.”
Constitutional law professor Anthony Michael Kreis wrote on X, “Herschel Walker’s introduction of Trump in Macon might be the funniest thing I’ve seen in a minute. You had one job, Herschel.”
