Senator Raphael Warnock criticized Donald Trump and his supporters for promoting racist and violent rhetoric during a recent rally, highlighting concerns over the divisive nature of current American politics.
On March 10, Senators Raphael Warnock and Lindsey Graham, along with Representative Adam Schiff, were featured on Meet the Press NOW for discussions on current political issues.
The New Georgia Project, a voting rights organization founded by Stacey Abrams and previously led by Raphael Warnock, is facing allegations of financial misuse and irregularities. The organization, which played a key role in registering new voters in Georgia, is conducting an internal probe into its finances in response to the claims. The organization's tax filings indicate that its former executive director owes thousands of dollars in reimbursements. The organization has also faced administrative battles, including a state ethics investigation and a dispute with the IRS. The organization's troubles come as it has gained national attention for its efforts to turn Georgia into a swing state.
The Senate Ethics Committee has issued a public letter of admonition to Senator Lindsey Graham for asking for campaign donations on behalf of Herschel Walker inside a federal building last year. The committee found that Graham's conduct was contrary to Senate standards of conduct and cited a previous infraction of Graham's in which he asked for donations for his own re-election campaign after a Judiciary Committee hearing in October 2020. The committee deemed that action a violation but dismissed the complaint in March 2021.
