Emotional Lindsey Graham says liberals are trying to 'destroy' Herschel Walker

US Sen. Lindsey Graham said liberals are attempting to 'destroy' Georgia Senate hopeful Herschel Walker in order to stop people of color from joining the GOP. 

Walker's race has moved to a runoff election scheduled for December against incumbent Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock.

The fight is among the most looked at in the nation as both parties vie for control of the Senate, with Walker's personal life drawing headlines after two women accused him of pressuring them into getting abortions. 

Graham, of South Carolina, got emotional as he claimed that Democrats were doing everything in their power to dig up dirt on Walker and make sure he loses because of what he represents. 

'They're trying to destroy Herschel to deter young men and women of color from being Republicans,' Graham told Fox's Sean Hannity on Thursday night. 

'If they destroy Herschel it will deter people of color from wanting to be a conservative Republican, because you'll just have your life ruined,' he said. 'The conservative movement for people of color is on the ballot in Georgia.'

Graham claimed that Walker's candidacy was so important he was willing to move to Georgia to help his fellow Republican get elected. 

He ultimately described Walker, a Heisman Trophy-winning former college football player, as a 'nightmare for liberals.'  

'If Herschel wins, he's going to inspire people all over Georgia, of color, to become Republicans, and I say all over the United States,' Graham told Hannity as his voice cracked. 

Meanwhile, Herschel was out campaigning in Canton with Sen. Ted Cruz, who urged the people of Georgia to pick the GOP candidate in December. 

'I want to tell the men and women of Georgia the eyes of the country are on you,' Cruz said. 'The odds are high that control of the senate will be decided by the men and women of Georgia.'  

Cruz was the first prominent Republican to travel to the battleground state less than two days after Election Night. 

The GOP is expected to campaign in full force in Georgia as it may become the key race to deciding which party controls the Senate.

Republicans inched closer to having a majority in the House on Wednesday while the battle for the Senate hinged on the contests in Arizona, Nevada and Georgia.

The slow vote counting out West and Democrats doing better than expected in several competitive House districts means the makeup of the next Congress may not be clear until next week. 

Two days after Americans went to the polls, Republicans are within nine House seats of the 218 needed to win, with many West Coast contests still being tabulated.  

The battle for the Senate could become clearer when Arizona and Nevada finish counting their votes. Right now, Republicans hold 49 seats and Democrats hold 48.

Democrats or Republicans could win control of the Senate by winning two of the remaining three outstanding races. 

But there is a strong possibility that, for the second time in two years, the Senate majority could come down to a runoff in Georgia next month. 

Neither Warnock nor Walker garnered the necessary 50 percent to be declared the winner.

In Arizona, Democratic Senator Mark Kelly has a five-point lead over Republican Blake Masters but the race could still go either way, with more than 600,000 votes yet to be counted, according to the Secretary of State's office, although Kelly's lead has reached 100,000 votes.
