Kemp defeats Perdue in Georgia, a major blow to Trump
The hill ^ | 05/24/2022 | Max Greenwood

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp was projected to win his renomination for a second term on Tuesday, overcoming a primary challenge from former Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.) and, by extension, former President Donald Trump.

ABC and NBC News both called the race for Kemp around 8:30 p.m. ET.

Kemp, a one-time ally of the former president, stirred Trump’s ire in the wake of the 2020 presidential election after he rebuffed his pleas to overturn President Biden’s electoral victory in Georgia. Trump vowed to campaign against Kemp, eventually persuading Perdue to enter the race for governor in hopes of ousting him.

Major blow to Trump? I do not think so.

Perdue will be in the next administration after Trump wins.

I didn’t expect this much of a blowout.

Also Brad Raffensperger might actually win outright tonight and not need a runoff.

Perdue was quite the weak Senator.

Kemp, a clear never Trumper, assistant ‘Rat.

Let the deep, Dark ShawdowCaster win and let the Ga. electorate get what they want.

Kemp was Trump’s number one target. For him to do THIS well is a true indication that all politics are local.

Fauci was a major blow. Birx was a major blow. Perdue, not so much.

Open primary, and Abrams ran unopposed. No reason the Dems couldn’t vote for Kemp and company.

Georgia is an open primary state. My theory is that a lot of Dems chose to vote the Republican primary ballot to vote for Kemp and throw things off. The thing to look at is how many voted for Kemp and then did NOT in any other race on the Republican ballot.

Stacy Abrams Tank will be the next governor of Georgia. Kemp only beat her last time by 50000 votes. You will see at LEAST 300000 MAGA voters not vote for Kemp. I hope they at least show up for Walker in the senate race.

The same thing in Pennsylvania. At least 100000 Kathy Barnette voters will not vote for the Sean Hannity puppet Oz.

“My theory is that a lot of Dems chose to vote the Republican primary ballot to vote for Kemp and throw things off.”

Exactly.

And that is why we elect left-wing senators.
Abrams will be a disaster for the state of Georgia and we all know that now.

If Georgia Republicans throw a temper tantrum and sit things out so that Abrams wins, they are idiots and will get what they deserve.
