.MaddowBlog: Georgia's race is something quite new: A former president, furious that an allied governor wasn't corrupt enough to help him steal an election, took it upon himself to orchestrate a primary fight.
David Perdue, the former U.S. senator from Georgia and ally of Donald Trump, plans to announce on Monday that he will run in a Republican primary against the state's incumbent governor, Brian Kemp, according to people familiar with Mr. Perdue's plan. Mr. Trump has vowed to orchestrate Mr. Kemp's defeat as payback for the governor's refusal to help overturn the former president's November election loss in the state.
What's more, Kemp isn't at the center of a major scandal, which might also make a governor an enticing target for a primary challenger. Looking ahead to the 2022 election cycle, we're seeing some related evidence of this elsewhere. In Alabama, for example, Trump is reportedly looking for primary rivals to take on Republican Gov. Kay Ivey. He's also targeted a variety of congressional Republicans whom he's deemed as insufficiently loyal.
