Report: David Perdue Seriously Weighing Primary Bid Against Brian KempJoshua Caplan 27 Oct 2021
Former Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) is said to be “seriously” considering waging a primary bid against Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R).
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports:
In recent weeks, Perdue has called donors and other allies to float the idea, according to eight people who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss confidential matters. Several of them said he’s “conflicted” about a run, while others say he’s leaning toward a challenge.
Perdue has kept quiet publicly about his plans, and he declined to comment. But he remains close to former President Donald Trump, who encouraged the former U.S. senator to run at a rally in Middle Georgia in September. Trump’s allies also recently leaked polls that show Perdue in a strong position.
One Perdue associate told the AJC:
There are always rumors. The only thing that has changed is a whole lot of people are reaching out and asking David to run, and President Trump is of course very supportive of the idea. Right now, David and Bonnie are enjoying their life, but they are praying about the future and not closing any doors.
