Governor Brian Kemp won Georgia’s Republican primary, dealing a blow to former President Donald Trump, who incessantly criticized the incumbent for refusing to overturn the state’s 2020 election results.
Trump’s hand-picked choice, former US Senator David Perdue, was defeated by Kemp in Tuesday’s election, according to the Associated Press. With about a third of the votes counted, Kemp had 73% of the votes while Perdue had 22.4%, according to the AP.
