GOP braces for brutal primary in Georgia governor's election
By Max Greenwood - 12/08/21 06:00 AM EST
Republicans are staring down a potentially costly and bitter primary for Georgia governor that will test the GOP’s resolve in one of the most competitive political battlegrounds of the 2022 midterm elections.
Former Sen. David Perdue’s (R-Ga.) entrance into the race for governor on Monday set up a showdown with Gov. Brian Kemp (R), a conservative firebrand who drew the ire of Donald Trump last year when he refused to overturn the former president’s loss in the 2020 election in Georgia.
The nascent primary fight between Kemp and Perdue, who already has the endorsement of Trump, is stirring concern among Republicans, who fear that a drawn-out nominating contest could hobble the party as it prepares to take on Stacey Abrams, the presumptive Democratic nominee for governor, next year.
“I find it hard to believe that you could have a bitter, bitter Republican primary and then be fully healed and ready to go against a candidate that’s going to clear the field on her side and will have whatever money she needs to run,” said Chuck Clay, a former Republican state senator and Georgia GOP chair.

The primary contest should be spirited, but as soon as the candidate is selected, the losing nominee should immediately get behind the winner and a united front should be presented.
And let's not let The Hill start to prejudice the contest by using emotive words like "brutal".

This sounds a little like concerned troll is concerned.

I'm sure if Kemp wins, Purdue will get behind him. But Kemp would never endorse Purdue.
