(CNN) On Monday, former Sen. David Perdue officially announced his Republican primary challenge to Georgia Gov. On Wednesday, he pledged allegiance to Donald Trump's big lie that the 2020 election was stolen from him. Asked whether, had he been governor, he would have signed the certification of Georgia's 2020 presidential election results, Perdue said he would not have done so. The only reason that Kemp is at all vulnerable in a Republican primary in 2022 is his decision to reject pressure being exerted by then-President Trump to overturn the Georgia results. Kemp, when he certified the election results in late November 2020, made clear that state law bound his hands when it came to the results.
