Perdue struggles against Brian Kemp in 2022 Governor elections
David Perdue, one of the earliest and most vocal advocates for Trump, now gets endorsed by the former president in the 2022 Georgia Governor elections.

“We should pray for Barack Obama”

“We should pray for Barack Obama. But I think we need to be very specific about how we pray. We should pray like Psalms 109:8 says. It says, ‘Let his days be few, and let another have his office'”, at the Faith and Freedom Coalition’s Road to Majority conference.
When questioned by a student about voter suppression while on a visit to Georgia Tech in October 2018, Perdue snatched away the student’s phone, which was recording the exchange. The student filed a civil suit, alleging unlawful battery.
