Herschel Walker, the GOP nominee for Senate in Georgia, says hell probably be bested by Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) in their lone debate next month.

Im a country boy. Im not that smart. Hes a preacher. [Warnock] is smart and wears these nice suits, Walker said at a campaign stop over the weekend, according to the Savannah Morning News . So, he is going to show up and embarrass me at the debate Oct. 14th, and Im just waiting to show up and I will do my best.

Its rare to see a candidate declare openly that they arent as smart as their opponent. The comments are likely intended to lower expectations for Walkers showdown against Warnock, a longtime pastor known for his oratory skills.
