Perdue was propelled into the race and endorsed by former President Donald Trump. Throughout the campaign, both continued to argue — without evidence — that Kemp allowed Democrats to steal the 2020 presidential election.
After Perdue entered the race, the primary became a test of Trump's grip on the Republican Party and whether relitigating 2020 election grievances continues to resonate with voters two years on.
"Even in the middle of a tough primary, conservatives across our state didn't listen to the noise," Kemp told the crowd at the College Football Hall of Fame in his victory speech Tuesday night.

..."Robert Duffy said he voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020, but would not vote for him if the former president ran a third time. Sipping a margarita on the quaint town square in suburban Alpharetta, Ga., Duffy said he is ready to move on from Trump and other Republicans' insistence that the 2020 election was rigged.
"It's a bit of a turn off at this point," Duffy said. "Why are we looking back at this point? I think it's deterring our efforts in the Republican Party to move forward."
While several primary contests head to runoffs at the end of June because no candidate reached a 50% vote threshold, Kemp can now focus on his general election campaign against Abrams.
More than a million new people have registered to vote in Georgia, many of them people of color, since Abrams' slim 2018 loss, but Democrats are facing a challenging national climate when inflation, war abroad and Biden's stalled domestic agenda may dampen the demographic tide shifting in Georgia."

I'm Somewhat Embarrassed To Admit This,
BUT My Brother In Ohio Voted For Trump....
When I Asked Mike WHY He Voted For Trump ~~~~ READY?
He Replied "My Friends Were Voting For Him & Though I Should Too"
I'm ALMOST Speechless.
BUT, I Jumped Directly Down His Throat And Went So Far Down I Chewed His Ass Out Too... Several Times!! Not JUST That He Voted For Trump,But WHY The Dumb-ass Did.!
The Epitome Of STUPID, And In MY Family... The-Son-Of-A-DITCH.!
