Republican David Perdue qualified to run for Georgia governor on Wednesday, professing confidence that he can beat incumbent Brian Kemp in the GOP primary despite lagging behind in polls and fundraising.
“I believe I’m the only one that can pull our party together and beat Stacey Abrams in the fall," the 72-year-old former U.S. senator told reporters, pressing the idea that many Republicans remain angry at Kemp for not doing more to try to overturn Democrat Joe Biden's win in Georgia in 2020.
