Last month, Curt Schilling made it known he would not be supporting Donald Trump’s candidacy for president after his comments about Arizona senator John McCain. Trump does, however, have the support of former NFL running back Herschel Walker.
While Walker is not in favor of all of Trump’s stances on various issues, Walker apparently feels strong enough to put Trump at the top of his list of candidates at the moment.
“There’s not a doubt in my mind right now he is my frontrunner,” Walker conveyed to USA TODAY Sports. “I’m not going to say anything negative about him because it’s not true.”
One area Walker does see eye-to-eye with Trump is the idea that a wall should be built between the United States and Mexico.
Walker and Trump have had their paths cross in the past. Walker spent two seasons with the New Jersey Generals of the USFL, which was owned by Trump. Walker was named the league’s MVP in 1985 after rushing for 2,411 yards and 21 touchdowns.
Many aren’t taking Trump and his run for the White House seriously. Walker obviously isn’t one of those people. He sees the 69-year-old real estate developer as the man who can take the country where it needs to go.
“When are we going to get back to what’s best for this country?” Walker said. “I think that’s what’s Donald is pushing to do.”
