Former U.S. Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.) announced on Dec. 6 that he’s running for governor of Georgia, potentially setting up a Republican primary fight with Gov. Brian Kemp.

“I’m running for governor to make sure Stacey Abrams is never governor of Georgia,” Perdue said in a video that was posted on his campaign website. Abrams, an activist who lost her gubernatorial bid to Kemp several years ago, announced that she would run for the Democratic Party’s nomination in Georgia several days ago.
