Former President Donald Trump endorsed former Sen. David Perdue in the Georgia gubernatorial race, calling current GOP Gov. Brian Kemp a “very weak Governor.”
“Great to see that David Perdue is running for Governor of Georgia,” Trump said in a statement Monday. “He is a Conservative fighter who isn’t afraid of the Radical Left, and is the only candidate in Georgia who can beat Stacey “The Hoax” Abrams in November.”
Perdue, who earlier this year narrowly lost a Senate runoff election against Sen. Jon Ossoff, R-Ga., announced Monday that he would mount a primary challenge against Kemp in next year’s election. Perdue’s announcement came just days after Democratic activist and former gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams announced she was also running in next year’s electio
“I’m running for Governor to make sure Stacey Abrams is NEVER Governor of Georgia. We need bold conservatives who will stand up to the woke left, not cave to their radical demands. Join me in this fight to Stop Stacey and Save Georgia,” Perdue said on a social media announcement of his campaign.
