Former Republican Sen. David Perdue officially launched a primary challenge to Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp Monday, setting up what could be a brutal primary fight in one of the most pivotal swing states in the country.
Perdue, who lost to Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff in a special election in January, turned down a Senate run in February but remained a close ally to former President Donald Trump as he criticized Kemp for refusing to overturn Georgia’s 2020 presidential election results. Perdue’s campaign website appeared Sunday as reports confirmed that a Trump-backed primary challenge was imminent.
