Former Sen. David Perdue jumped into the Georgia governor’s race on Dec. 6 to challenge incumbent Gov. Brian Kemp. Perdue is a good man, and it is a shame that he is no longer in the Senate, but it is at least as much a shame to see him splitting the Republican Party in the closely contested gubernatorial race. It would have been much better had he not done so.
It is worse that he is doing so as the chosen candidate of former President Donald Trump, who destroyed Perdue and his party’s chances in the state in the 2020 runoffs by discouraging Republican voters in claiming the vote was rigged and worthless.
