Trump is keeping his distance from Perdue in the waning days ahead of Tuesday's Georgia's Republican gubernatorial primary — even though it was Trump who urged Perdue to jump into the race in a bid to deny Gov. Brian Kemp renomination. Trump blames Kemp for President Joe Biden's 2020 Georgia win, the first by a Democratic nominee in Georgia since 1992, and he provoked Trump's ire for not doing enough to investigate his allegations of election fraud in Georgia.
Perdue's campaign is not spending money on advertising during the last week before the election, while Kemp is spending around $1 million. Perdue is polling at 28% compared to Kemp's 60% according to a Wednesday poll. Trump on Friday denied he was backing off support for Perdue, pushing back on an NBC News report saying he'd given up on the governor's race.
"The Kemp Campaign, together with Fake News NBC, has put out a phony narrative that I have given up on David Perdue in Georgia," he said in a statement.
Trump's other big Georgia pick, former football player Herschel Walker, is expected to win the GOP nomination to challenge Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock.
