David Perdue: Democrat rhetoric on Georgia voting law is ‘all about power’<\/h4>\n

Former Georgia senator says Democrats are using a ‘false narrative’ to pander to minority voters on ‘Special Report’<\/p>\n

David Perdue, the Trump-backed former senator, plans to announce he\u2019ll challenge Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp in a Republican primary face-off next year, a source familiar with Perdue\u2019s plans has confirmed to Fox News.<\/p>\n

Perdue, who was narrowly defeated by now-Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff in last January\u2019s Senate runoffs, was recruited by former President Donald Trump to oust Kemp over his refusal to help the then-president\u2019s efforts last year to overturn the election results in Georgia.<\/p>\n

Sources told Politico that Perdue expects to receive further fundraising and endorsement support from Trump ahead of the Georgia Republican primary. He intends to make his announcement Monday via video and file his paperwork at the same time, the report said.<\/p>\n

Kemp spokesman Cody Hall slammed the move.<\/p>\n

“The man who lost Republicans the United States Senate and brought the last year of skyrocketing inflation, open borders, runaway government spending, and woke cancel culture upon the American people now wants to lose the Georgia governor\u2019s office to the national face of the radical left movement,” Hall said. “It may be difficult for David Perdue to see this over the gates of his coastal estate, but Joe Biden\u2019s dangerous agenda is hitting hardworking Georgians in the wallet and endangering their livelihoods – and we all have David Perdue to thank for it. <\/p>\n

“Perdue\u2019s only reason for running is to sooth his own bruised ego, because his campaign for U.S Senate failed to inspire voters at the ballot box – twice,” Hall added.<\/p>\n

The announcement sets up for an epic GOP civil battle in Georgia, where President Biden edged Trump by a razor-thin margin. The winner will face likely 2022 Democratic nominee Stacey Abrams, who narrowly lost to Kemp in 2018.<\/p>\n
