Hollywood, get out the checkbook — again. The pricey U.S Senate campaign in Georgia is about to get even pricier as Sen. Raphael Warnock and Herschel Walker square off for a Dec. 6 runoff election.

The race was already breaking spending records, with entertainment industry fave Warnock building a stunning $124 million war chest to Walker’s $37.6 million, according to the Federal Election Commission. 

The senior pastor at Martin Luther King Jr.’s Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta is already backed by Hollywood A-Listers, including veteran TV producer Norman Lear, producer/directors J.J. Abrams and Steven Spielberg and DreamWorks co-founder Jeffrey Katzenberg. Warnock got more money from individual donors in California than from Georgia.
