Donald Trump's campaign to play kingmaker in this year's midterm elections faced its biggest test yet in Georgia on Tuesday as Republican voters decide whether to heed his demands to oust Governor Brian Kemp.
Trump has backed former U.S. Senator David Perdue's primary challenge against Kemp, who angered the former president by refusing to try to overturn his defeat in the 2020 election.
Trump has made more than 190 endorsements since leaving office, mostly for incumbent Republicans who face no serious primary opposition. "She ain't from here. Let her go back where she came from if she doesn't like it here," he said. Abrams, who is Black, was born in Wisconsin and moved to Georgia with her family as a child.
"President Trump's endorsement did not have any sway over what I think is best for Georgia," Seifried said.
