Gov. Brian Kemp has a 38-point lead over former Sen. David Perdue in the Republican primary race for governor in Georgia, according to a new poll.
The poll, conducted by ARW Strategies from April 30 to May 1, found Kemp with 59.4 percent support compared to Perdue’s 21.5 percent support with about three weeks to go until the May 24 primary. Eleven percent of respondents said they were undecided on the race, and three other candidates received single-digit support.

I agree... Disappointed..
But Abrams is worse
I thought that last election and no one could have been worse.
Kemp lost the senate race to a dem and that was what gave the dems the US Senate.
Trump was.. Is.. Furious with Kemp.. He wouldn’t do a thing about the vote cheating..
To this day Kemp would deny all the evidence.
Citizens have brought out the ballot stuffing and the inner circle of corruption.
And he’s too chummy with Abrams.
I will not vote for Kemp.. Nor a dem.
Georgia used to be a democratic state.. Blacks ruled.. Atlanta ruled.
There was a young man killed in a car blast.. Suspicious.. Going down the road and witnesses said the car exploded.
That young man worked for Loeffler, who Kemp gave that senate seat to instead of to Collins.
That young man was kemp’s daughter’s boyfriend.
Dont think it was ever investigated.. But i think Kemp is 1 sheet above corrupt.
I’d like to know how Kemp can survive all he’s done.. And with a 30 plus lead.
I dont buy it.
It’s not that hard to see the GOPe Club moves in Georgia, you just have to shake off the ‘battered conservative syndrome‘ to accept it.
Georgia is holding an open primary, where democrats can vote for republicans and republicans can vote for democrats.
The Democrat Governor candidate is Stacy Abrams, and she is running unopposed.
The AME Church Network (think prior Mississippi strategy for Thad Cochran by Haley Barbour and Mitch McConnell) have been activated to vote in the republican primary, so democrats in Georgia will choose the republican candidate who will run against Stacy Abrams.
Georgia Democrats will vote for incumbent republican governor Brian Kemp this month because that’s who they want on the ticket in the November general election, facing their candidate, Stacy Abrams. Georgia is the homebase of the AME church network and their political operations. This is part of the reason why Georgia politics is:
(a) racially divisive; and
(b) fraught with corruption.
As a direct result of democrats selecting the opposition, Stacy Abrams will win in November. Open primaries are club rules used to make red states turn blue. Allowing your opposition to choose your candidate is never smart.
Everything at this level of electoral games is controlled by the state political clubs. The republican club in Georgia is ideologically against MAGA more than they are against Democrats. The GA parties control the rules and thereby the political outcomes, the voters in GA operate under the illusion of choice. This is not uncommon.
The key point is to note that republican governor Brian Kemp (pictured above) is going to be the predetermined primary winner. Kemp will have GOPe support, some smaller faction of conservative support, and he will have more than enough democrats voting for him to beat any challenge.
President Trump has endorsed former GA Senator David Perdue for the governor race. Likely Senator Perdue sought that endorsement, and Trump gave it to him despite Perdue being a lifetime member of the Mitch McConnell stable.
We can debate Perdue and McConnell’s motives for running this strategy, but the weedy point is essentially moot. Even with full MAGA support, David Perdue will not beat Brian Kemp in the GA primary because organized democrats (AME church network) are going to vote for Kemp.
There is no scenario where Kemp doesn’t win the primary, it is a done deal. The club is happy.
Into this scenario the GOPe club now have an opportunity to attack and diminish their real enemy, Donald Trump and the MAGA movement.
Donald Trump, trying to break the GOP corruption cycle in Georgia (noted by their activity in 2020) has endorsed David Perdue. However, Mitch McConnell and now George W Bush are very publicly supporting Kemp. Duh, the Kemp victory is assured.
When Kemp wins the primary, the MAGA-ino (in name only) candidate, David Perdue, will be defeated. This allows the GOPe club to push the narrative that Trumpism is dead within the republican party. We are dealing with an internecine battle between the old guard and maga inside the RNC club.
The Mitch McConnell/George W Bush crowd will use the Kemp primary victory to diminish MAGA and the national media will put the massive spotlight on the Trump-endorsed loss in order to diminish Donald Trump and MAGA. It’s a familiar playbook and repeated pattern (see Tea Party).
GEORGIA – The [Kemp] fundraiser with Bush this month will put Kemp in front of an influential room of Texas donors just days before the Georgia primary on May 24. Hosts of the May 16 event include Crow; Jim Francis, a major Texas bundler; Republican strategist Karl Rove; and Ross Perot, Jr., son of the former presidential candidate. Tickets for a V.I.P. reception are listed at $15,200, while the general reception is going for $5,000. (read more)
The high information Georgia conservative voters know that Brian Kemp is corrupt and would have a very hard time voting for him. However, Brian Kemp losing in November to Stacy Abrams is no big deal to the GOPe club. The Club would rather lose the Governor’s seat and retain power, than defeat a democrat opponent and be held accountable for political reform and federalism policies they really don’t support.
Besides, even in the unfortunate event that Kemp did win the general election (GA base voters all collectively decide to hold their nose), the Club knows Kemp’s crew will not reform or change anything; so, it’s a win/win either way.
On the other side of the Club dynamic (the democrat wing), the most likely scenario is Stacy Abrams winning.
This would flip the state from red to blue, and provide the fuel for the national press and DNC to proclaim that Democrat policies are on the rise and everyone loves democrats.
This outcome sets the stage for the return half of the AME Church Network quid-pro-quo that was established in 2020.
When Obama and James Clyburn cut the 2020 Biden deal, Obama got his third term to execute radical kamikaze policies without concern for reelection, in exchange for AME support of Biden.
It’s all club games. Unfortunately in the Georgia mid-term Donald Trump endorsed the candidate the GOPe club had specifically put into place in order to lose. David Perdue will land a cushy Wall Street organized corporate gig; Brian Kemp will land a cushy Wall Street organized corporate gig, and Stacy Abrams will be the Georgia governor.
Having looked carefully, I cannot see a countering move that would disrupt the Republican Club plan for this one.
With Democrats able to select the Republican nominee, unfortunately Georgia looks lost.
The contest is Deep State vs MAGA.
If it requires Abrams win the governorship to erase GOPe Deep State efforts, then that is what must happen.
There is only one consequence. Georgia election procedures in 2024 will be defined by her to oppose President Trump, or Kemp will define those procedures to defeat President Trump.
NO DIFFERENCE.
NONE.
If Kemp wins the primary, abandon him in the general election. That will erase the GOPe, and President Trump can even go public recommending it. The outrage will be “betrayal of the party.” MAGA doesn’t care about the party. MAGA wants erasure of the GOPe portion of the party.
Whatever it takes.
Perdue is a horrible candidate. Not quite as bad as the Turkish Quack in PA, but still lackluster.
If I was a Georgia voter I would do the same thing you’re doing!
Georgia must be a big 2nd Amendment State
I think I read recently that Kemp is passing all sorts of laws that are gun friendly. If I were Perdue I would address that and promise MORE.
Kemp is pure trash and he will return to his Left ways if he is re elected.
4 years of Stacy Abrams is gonna suck for Georgia but it has to be done.
Solid suppression poll which can be used to justify voter fraud if need be. My guess... they keep the steal going because they have to ride that tiger till they die because if they fall off they will be eaten. Every Georgia Republican knows about the the fraud. Kemp was and is in on it, hence his trip to the Chinese owned Bush family last week. (Read Josh Rogan’s Chaos Under Heaven)
I'm from PA, where Trump endorsed Oz, a Muslim, globalist, RINO for Toomey's U.S. Senate seat. Bear in mind that there are solid conservative, America-first, Christian republicans running for the Toomey seat.
There was a Trump rally last night in western PA where Trump had people with Oz signs sitting in the camera background. When Oz spoke the cameras panned for a short time into the crowd and there was ZERO excitement, animation or applause. PA MAGA republicans do not support Oz - period!
All I can say is that Trump DOESN'T know how to pick em!
I haven’t been exposed to Dr. Oz as a candidate much. I made sure to watch his speech for that reason. I noticed he did choose his words very carefully, which I didn’t care for and made me wonder about how trustworthy he is, though it could just be that he’s working on becoming a politician. The crowd wasn’t highly animated, but I did think he came off pretty well at the end of the day and I think the crowd did as well.
IMHO, if he was truly the enemy a lot here think he is, he wouldn’t have lowered himself to even attend that rally.My impression is that some are judging him far too harshly for things like talk show topics.
I get frustrated with Trump when he tells me to vote for enemy GOPe politicians, but when it comes to Oz, I don’t see how it really benefits him to run on a fake platform as a ruse. Maybe I’m missing something, but the criticisms of him sound awfully reminiscent of the ones made against Trump by people like Mark Levin.
Sometimes, people play the game until they just can’t take it anymore and decide enough is enough. We’ve all been duped a lot, so it’s understandable to be skeptical though.
No offense meant. I’m not even from PA, so my opinion is largely irrelevant anyway.
No offense taken and no, your opinion is not irrelevant.
I'm a pragmatist and believe the the enemy of best but imperfect choice is to chose nothing. I will always vote for the least of 2 evils.
The democrat candidate for the PA Senate seat will be John Fetterman, a progressive, socialist, uber-liberal, amoral (am I being redundant) politician. He's the current PA Lieutenant Governor under odious liberal democrat Governor Tom Wolf.
I will vote for a Christian America-first republican in the primary. If Oz should win in the primary, I will vote for him because the democrat Fetterman is more liberal and anti-Christian than our Governor, and that's saying something.
