The Jolt: David Perdue, with Trump's support, could give Kemp something to fear

Former President Donald Trump’s political advisers seem to be trying to convince ex-U.S. Sen. David Perdue to enter the race for governor.

(snip)

But the more interesting results involved the race for governor. Kemp is still in Trump’s crosshairs for refusing to illegally overturn last year’s election results -- the former president sent his latest anti-Kemp screed just last week.

(snip)

But others note there is a plausible path for Perdue to run, one that starts with polling numbers showing a tight race and builds to a narrative that only he can fend off Stacey Abrams.

That would set up a Grand Canyon-sized rift in a state GOP already strained by the “Trump Won” crowd. Kemp has made clear he’s running for a second term no matter in who is in the race, and even the pro-Trump poll showed he has solid footing.
