Georgia signals that Trump's days playing kingmaker are over

Tuesday's Georgia Republican gubernatorial primary between incumbent Gov. Brian Kemp and former US Senator and ardent Donald Trump supporter David Perdue was touted nationwide as an epic showdown between the former president and any Republican officeholder who dared to defy him after his defeat in the 2020 election. Kemp prevailed against Perdue Tuesday night in a major blow to the former president.

After Kemp's refusal to help block President Joe Biden's victory in Georgia in 2020, Trump condemned the governor and called on him to resign for his disloyalty, then repeatedly accused him of being a RINO -- "Republican in name only." Trump also said he was ashamed to have endorsed Kemp in 2018 and even asserted that Democrat Stacey Abrams "might be better" than Kemp as governor.
