Georgia's incumbent Gov. Brian Kemp (R) has fended off a primary challenge from Trump-backed former U.S. Sen. David Perdue, the AP reported.
- He's now headed into a rematch with Democratic nominee Stacey Abrams, whom Kemp defeated in 2018.
Why it matters: Beating Kemp was a top priority of former President Trump after Kemp refused to help him overturn the 2020 election results.
