CUMMING, Ga. — Inside a massive, airy barn in the Republican-friendly exurbs north of Atlanta, former U.S. Sen. David Perdue locked arms with the eldest son of his most important political ally.
Before a midday crowd of hundreds of Republicans, Donald Trump Jr. praised his father’s political legacy and framed Perdue as the only conservative who “will actually fight” Gov. Brian Kemp and the political establishment.
“Do not sit out the primaries,” Trump Jr. said, exhorting Republicans to rally to his father’s favorite candidates. “Because we will end up with a slate of proper RINOs like Brian Kemp and (Wyoming U.S. Rep.) Liz Cheney. We might as well have Democrats.”
