Georgia Republican U.S. Senate candidate Herschel Walker is now pitching himself as someone who can bring all people of the state and country together, a recent report from FOX 5 Atlanta said.

Throughout much of his campaign, Walker has taken to calling all Georgians his “family” while contradicting his promise of unity by saying those who have a different vision—such as his opponent, incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA)—are sources of division and can leave the county if they are dissatisfied; the FOX 5 report said.

"I don’t care what color you are," Walker recently told an overwhelmingly white crowd in Bartow County, north of Atlanta; the report said. "This is a good place and a way we make it better is by coming together."

Walker's campaign has recently been dogged by allegations that he encouraged and paid for a former girlfriend's 2009 abortion and later urged the same woman to have another one, even though one of the central tenets of his election campaign has revolved around a pro-life stance; the report said.

A minister at the same Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta where Dr. Martin Luther King once preached and served, Warnock has at least partly centered his reelection campaign on King’s long-held vision of a "beloved community," including religious pluralism, LGBTQ rights, ballot access and racial equity; the report said.

Walker will face off against Warnock in the U.S. Senate race on Nov. 8.
