Kemp is facing a primary challenge after being the first Republican presidential candidate to lose Georgia since George H.W. Bush in 1992. Perdue is considering a primary challenge to Kemp.
Since her loss in the presidential election, she has become one of the most prominent Democrats in the nation. The work of her and her group, Fair Fight, was credited by Democrats with helping flip the state, both with President Joe Biden's narrow victory in 2020. The two Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock were earlier this year.
Georgia will once again be a focal point for U.S. politics. The state's secretary of state race is expected to attract a historic amount of attention, as well as the governor's race and a full term in the Senate.
In her launch video, she calls for leadership that understands the true pain people are feeling and has real plans to lead a changing Georgia. The video promotes her work since the election, with her saying she paid off Georgians' medical debt and helped finance small businesses.
Kemp greeted his opponent by saying she would use the office as a stepping stone. He said that the campaign for power has hurt Georgia businesses and cost the state millions of dollars. The election for governor in November is a battle for the soul of the state. I am fighting against the failed Biden agenda and their allies to keep Georgia the best place to live, work and raise a family.
Kemp needs to win his primary in order to face off against the other. Kemp did not use his position as governor to help overturn the results of the 2020 election in the state, which has enraged Trump. The former president targeted the Republican Secretary of State for similar reasons.
Kemp has not yet attracted a challenger with the strength to win the endorsement of Trump. Vernon Jones, a one-time Democratic lawmaker who switched parties and embraced Trump's conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, is in the primary but has not won Trump's backing.
Perdue lost to Ossoff last year, and Trump's team tried to get him to challenge Kemp.
Perdue told a local radio station last month that the party in Georgia was divided and that he was attacking Kemp for doing things that didn't have to be done.
We are praying for our state. He didn't mention the sitting governor by name, but he was concerned about the state.
A Trump-backed challenger is in the race for Rep. Jody Hice.
The Republican Governors Association has already said that it would back Kemp regardless of Trump being involved in the primary. Dave Rexrode, executive director of the RGA, said that they defeated her once, even though she failed to admit it. The RGA wants to keep GA going in the right direction.
In the race for governor in Georgia in the summer of 2018, she acknowledged that Kemp was the governor, but said she was not giving a speech of concession,alleging that Kemp used his office to suppress votes, with Fair Fight filing an expansive lawsuit challenging the results.
Kemp said he was investigating the state Democratic Party for trying to hack the voter registration system days before the election, but investigators said there was no evidence to support the charges.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that the Fair Fight lawsuit could go to trial early next year, but a series of court rulings cut back the scope of the suit.
National Democrats supported the bid for a second Kemp match. Noam Lee, the executive director of the Democratic Governors Association, said in a statement thatAbrams came well within striking distance of Brian Kemp in the Georgia governor's race. It is clear that Brian Kemp's days as governor are numbered.
Scores of organizers on the ground in Georgia have been rejuvenated by the entry ofAbrams. Nse Ufot, the CEO of the New Georgia Project, said that the organization plans to immediately begin working to mobilize voters in the upcoming elections, adding that Kemp's handling of the Pandemic and Republicans' policies in Washington, D.C.
She said there was another chance to talk about Georgia. It includes people who are looking for a second bite at the apple, when you think about the broad coalition of supporters that Abrams enjoyed.
