Brian Kemp Soundly Defeats Trump-Endorsed David Perdue

I thought Stacy Abrams had won governor for life in Georgia?
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp cruised to victory in the Republican primary Tuesday, easily defeating Trump-endorsed former Sen. David Perdue.
With 23% of precincts reporting when the race was called, Kemp held 73.1% of the vote, while Perdue had just 22.3%. Longshots Catherine Davis, Kandiss Taylor, and Tom Williams divvied up the remaining vote.
Perdue told supporters that he had called Kemp to concede and was “fully supporting” the incumbent, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
“Tomorrow morning you are going to hear me going to work to go to work to make damn sure Stacey Abrams is not the next governor of Georgia,” he said.
Kemp will face off against Democratic nominee Stacey Abrams in November for the second consecutive gubernatorial election. Kemp defeated Abrams in 2018 and has held a consistent polling lead over the Democrat this time around.
Tuesday’s election was marked by massive turnout during Georgia’s early voting period, with the state secretary of state’s office tallying 483,149 Republican early votes and 368,949 Democratic early votes as of Friday.
The impressive early voting numbers come one year after the state came under fire for passing an election reform bill which President Biden slammed as “Jim Crow in the 21st century.”
Who would vote for Kemp after he sabotaged all attempts at an audit of the vote in 2020?
This was probably just more fraud, frankly.
Though Trump’s candidates are not doing great.
Poor Madison was endorsed.
He endorsed Sarah Sanders, who won. But that’s easy – America loves loud fat women.

The only thing I really care about here is that Marjorie Taylor Greene won – though that was never really in question, despite all of the money lined up against her. She’s just too popular.

She’s popular because she’s one of the single candidates who supports normal American people instead of wars and virus hoaxes.
