Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, a so-called Republican who is known for being anti-Trump, is in deep trouble according to a new GOP poll.
Many are speculating that former Georgia GOP Senator David Perdue will be mounting a campaign to challenge Brian Kemp in the Republican primary for governor in 2022.
The GOP poll obtained by the Washington Examiner indicates that, with former President Donald Trump‘s endorsement, Perdue would beat Brian Kemp in the primary 41% to 34%, with Democrat-turned-Republican Vernon Jones receiving 11 percent of the vote.
If Jones was taken out of the race, the poll shows Perdue leading Kemp 50% to 41%.
Perdue has spoken out about Kemp, blaming him for the outcome of the 2020 election, though he hasn’t officially announced a run against him.
“A lot of people feel … that people in power haven’t fought for them and caved into a lot of things back in 2020 that didn’t have to be done,” he said in an interview with WDUN.

Didn't bother to do anything about voter fraud.
He's going to lose the primary.
Excellent. That horrid Lt. Governor is “retiring”. Ratburger is sure to lose. With Kemp gone that would make for a clean sweep. Then a much much stricter election integrity law which is needed can be passed.
I don’t love Perdue but he’s a damn sight better than Kemp.
Don’t forget their good for nothing AG.
That appointment was the SWAMP AT ITS FINEST....
No experience whatsoever, but hey you are the wife of a big donor, so here’s a senate seat for you....
This guy was a disappointment and clearly a uniparty/GOPe hack from day one...
Very good news.
Don’t leave out him repeatedly kissing Stacey Abrams’ gargantuan arse.
Repubs are going to circle jerk around till Stacy Abrams is finally governor. Guaranteed.
Loeffler pumped over $10M in giveaways to certain political operations to get that job, against nearly everyone’s advice. I’m guessing he got plenty of it. He’s a crook and needs to go. I know I’m gonna vote against him in the primary.
Perdue did nothing after 3 November. At best, Perdue is milktoast. I really cannot see him as much of an improvement over Kemp. Frankly, I would be very tempted to back Vernon Jones. I fully expect Perdue to run a lackluster, uninspired, stand for nothing campaign and will likely lose to Abrams.
They swept the Statehouse in Virginia of all places!
Don’t lose hope!
Wisconsin is working on a sweep of the Governorship! We still hold our House and Assembly (Senate)!
We can do this, FRiends! :)
2022 NEEDS to be a bloodbath from Governor on down to Dog Catchers and School Boards!
If you look back a long time ago in his career there were accusations of corruption of his days in major positions in the Georgia Legislature. He’s a crook from way back, IMO.
I’m voting against him in his primary.
Stacey Abrams NEVER conceded defeat in the 2018 election, Brian Kemp has been trying desperately to be allowed to concede even at this late date, without actually coming out and saying he will concede. One preemptive surrender after another.
Yep. The STUPID PARTY always finds a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
“Repubs are going to circle jerk around till Stacy Abrams is finally governor. Guaranteed.”
Kemp must go.
“I fully expect Perdue to run a lackluster, uninspired, stand for nothing campaign and will likely lose to Abrams.”
Wrong in one major aspect. GA is a Red state and after Biden it is turning Redder. Perdue would have to be a child molester in a fair election. The only reason it was Blue for 2020 was massive cheating to the tune of 600,000 extra votes.
The small minded that say cheating wasn’t enough to overthrow the election expect you believe that Biden beat Obama in his prime in the heavily black communities by over 600,000 voters. Anyone with a once of common (this especially includes Republicans) sense knows this is statistically impossible.
GA
1,844,123 Obama (2008)
1,773,827 Obama
1,837,300 Clinton GA
2,473,633 Biden (+35%)
Kemp is corrupt. He sold out GA and America with the crooked election he allowed and encouraged. HE IS THROUGH unless another GA election is stolen.
You’re so right about the Loeffler appointment. I tried, I really tried to see her as something other than a political payback senator, and before 1/6 she made noises that she would stand and object to the Georgia electors.
And then she didn’t.
In retrospect, we lost that seat when she was appointed. She never connected to the voters, and had little experience in politics, and the seat was wide open for challenge.
Perdue is late to the party, but joining this lawsuit makes a huge difference .... an actual candidate. Previous lawsuit dismissed because plaintiff “hadn’t alleged a “particularized injury” and thus didn’t have standing to sue. Perdue should have standing.

Georgia did add population, so comparisons to the past are not useful.
About the only way to see how ballots from vote by mail were pre-printed for Biden and no one else is this:
Sum of GOP votes House districts elections 2490396
Sum of Dem votes House districts elections 2393089 About 100K difference
Biden gets 12,000 more votes?
