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.
