Not really. Perdue was hoping but not campaigning. Inspire of what you may read here at FR Kemp was not disliked as Governor
I remember when Kemp was the first governor to open up his state a few months into the pandemic. Trump blasted Kemp for it. I never understood that as I thought it would be good to see what happened as tough lockdown rules, etc, were loosened in a state. A feud seemed to start then though things could nave happened behind the scenes that I was not aware of.
President Trump had the best policies of any president of my lifetime but his public and personal attacks on people is his Achilles heel. I bet his three children have tried to get him to stop. It is enough to have to negotiate with people who disagree policy-wise with you. No need to add personal animosity caused by your public insults.
