Walker was already a scandal-plagued candidate (as was Warnock, FWIW.)

Huh

Personal use of campaign funds and allegations of domestic violence.  Both Warnock and Walker have the "scandal" tag in FiveThirtyEight's model. 

Interestingly enough, the abortion drama with Walker wouldn't be enough to meet 538's threshold on its own (since there's nothing illegal about paying for your girlfriend's abortion.)

The cited so-called "scandal" involving Warnock is extremely tenuous, and even the disingenuous Politico article just says that there are "questions" re his use of campaign funds to defend him in a lawsuit. It's likely that people wouldn't file frivolous lawsuits against him if he were just a private citizen, so Warnock's argument that it's a legitimate use of campaign funds seems valid. And anyhow, in total the so-called questions surround the use of $1,183. I cannot fathom a less interesting or smaller "scandal."

His ex-wife's allegation of one specific instance of violence also was determined by police to be without merit.

He’s still counted as scandal plagued as 538, even if the allegations are tenuous. They should probably add a scandal severity variable if they’re gonna have that in the model. Or just not have it at all and let the scandal be borne out solely in the polling.

Walker isn’t doing terribly so far.

Probably because expectations were very low. But still, he doesn’t seem to be doing all that bad.

I don’t think the abortion question worked to Warnock’s advantage, despite Walker not answering the question that was asked.

A mistake for Wsrnick to say “Student loan relief had more money for people like me”

The moderators also seem to be favoring Walker.

The student loan issue isn't working for Republicans, regardless of whether it "should."

Minimum wage, another losing issue for the GOP. Warnock's going above and beyond with a "livable wage."

Warnock's taking the right tone on law enforcement, no "defund the police" innuendos.

Walker bringing out a fake police badge, a clear violation of the rules against bringing props apparently.

LOL, Walker's getting grilled for violating the rules, right after accusing Warnock of saying nasty things about cops while Warnock reminded people of his own comments.

I still haven’t seen a knock-out punch being dealt to Walker so far.
