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.

win some, lose some
FU @thehill
I hear that Oz is a SIHIRBAZLAR.
Up by over 17 points with 36% of the vote reported.
You mean Raffensperger really did dismantle the fraud machine that “elected” Biden in 2020?
Was never close. Purdue never moved the needle the entire cycle
A governor that presided over the biggest election fraud in the history of the country ‘wins’ by a landslide. How shocking.
Well, it has to sting. Trump was all in against Kemp. Even spent money on Perdue.
Gee TheHill? Dontcha think Mikey Pence’ endorsement caused this win and that makes him a front runner for the GOP 2024 candidacy?
Not really. Perdue was hoping but not campaigning. Inspire of what you may read here at FR Kemp was not disliked as Governor
I will always wonder if Perdue got in to receive the Trump endorsement but then just sat on it to lose. In other words, to remove any serious challenge.
I guess Georgians don’t take orders about who they should vote for.
Trump supposedly soured on Perdue but dislikes Kemp. Don’t know what he will do. Confused.
No? Hmm.
In the senatorial runoff, enough Republicans sat out the vote which let two Dems get Senate seats. This has had disastrous consequences for all of America. Losing the governorship of Georgia compared to what they had in Kemp is not nearly as harmful to the country. I feel sorry for conservative voting Georgians, even so.
Says a man from the Bahamas
That’s what happens when you’re lazy and don’t campaign
Thats exactly what happened. They threw a temper tantrum. And look what its gotten us
Wrong as usual, Hill. He rebuffed Trump’s request to investigate the obvious irregularities in the 2020 election. Now if Trump refuses to support his candidacy, Stacy Abrams, the author of many of those irregularities, will definitely win. They both need to patch things up.
The concept of an open primary is ridiculous. It’s like having your high school letting its rival school choose the members of your football team.
In Texas news, looks like P. Bush is losing pretty good to Paxton. Great news!
