ATLANTA — Just a few months ago, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp's biggest political challenge might have hinged on whether he could win over the fractious Republican base amid an onslaught of insults from former President Donald Trump.
Now the bigger question might be whether he'll earn more votes from Republicans than just about any other candidate on the ballot.
With the governor facing steady and heavy criticism from Trump and a formidable primary challenge from David Perdue, Kemp's loyalists prepared for a drawn-out battle for GOP votes that they feared would weaken whoever emerged in a general election matchup against Stacey Abrams.
