Republicans had hoped to take the seat from Warnock because of Walker's name recognition and fanbase. However, Walker's outrageous claims and outright lies cost him a victory in a state where the Republican governor was re-elected over Stacey Abrams, the Democratic candidate who is highly regarded in the party. That means that people who voted for Kemp over the popular Democrat did not also vote for Walker.

Herschel Walker is not the Stupid, Lying Hypocrite from Georgia that He Appears to be
Because Georgia requires its elected officials to get a majority of votes, the 2% of the vote that went to the Libertarian Party candidate was enough that neither Raphael Warnock nor Herschel Walker got over the 50% threshold in the midterm elections last month. That means there will be a runoff election between only these two candidates next Tuesday.

Walker in GA and Oz in PA: How are These Races Close?
Herschel Walker did much better than most people expected in his debate against Senator Raphael Warnock. He was expected to flop miserably. Aside from flashing an unauthorized prop badge that has been turned into a meme, he was able to tie Warnock to the Democratic party which means he votes with other Democrats, namely Biden and Pelosi. That is a common theme among Republican candidates during these midterm elections. He wouldn't vote with the Democrats, of course. He would vote with the Republicans, which would align him with his intellectual equals, Boebert and Greene.
Walker claims to support family values. His son, though, claims he was an abusive philanderer who he and his mom hid from for a while for their safety. Walker claims to be pro-life. Two exes, however, have provided evidence that he paid for their abortions along with an allegation that he drove one of them to a clinic twice because she changed her mind the first time. Still, by getting through the debate with only one meme-worthy moment, it was a huge victory for someone who made a lot of touchdowns when he played college football for the Bulldogs and seems to have scored a lot because of that.
As for the abuse and philandering, well, we all know that kids say the darndest things.
