ATLANTA – Today, Team Herschel released the following statement as Raphael Warnock missed the vote to avert a national rail worker strike, even after stating that “we don’t need a strike” and reports that a rail worker strike would cost the U.S. economy $2 billion a day.
After the House voted yesterday to avert the rail strike, we asked, “Would Raphael Warnock show up for work?”. Today when the Senate voted and Warnock was nowhere to be found, we got our answer.
This week, Raphael Warnock missed the following votes:
- 11/28 Vote 358, Cloture for the Respect for Marriage Act
- 11/29 Vote 359, Amendment for the Respect for Marriage Act
- 11/29 Vote 360, Amendment for the Respect for Marriage Act
- 11/29 Vote 361, Amendment for the Respect for Marriage Act

- 12/01 Vote 371, amendment to the bill to avert national rail strike
- 12/01 Vote 372, the bill to avert national rail strike
“Raphael Warnock again refused to do his job, skipping the vote to avoid a rail worker strike,” said campaign spokesman Will Kiley. “Even with the nation’s economy on the line, he still did not do the job he was elected to do. The junior Senator should be ashamed of himself for going back on his word and failing to do his job. Georgia deserves a Senator who will show up every single day, and that is Herschel Walker.
