Perdue, meanwhile, has a very different argument. The former senator charges Kemp with looking the other way on election fraud and letting Republican voters down.

Both GOP primary candidates have debated each other twice, with one more debate coming up before May 24.
However, a brand new survey from ARW Strategies shows Kemp polling at 59.4% support from Georgia Republicans. Perdue, despite carrying the Trump endorsement, polls at 21.5% with GOP Georgia voters.
If the Georgia governor manages to win the primary race by at least 50%, he’ll automatically clinch the GOP nomination, steering clear of a runoff against Perdue.
A hotly contested battleground state
After the 2020 presidential election and the 2021 midterms went in the favor of Democrats, much of the nation is eager to see how this year’s Georgia elections turn out.
The governorship will play a huge role. Another factor will be the Senate election. Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock is presently up for re-election.
