Georgia Republicans, Democrats lining up to challenge Gov. Kemp and his ‘strong’ state economy

'High-quality challengers' David Perdue and Stacey Abrams' poll numbers are not far behind Gov. Brian Kemp and his strong economy.

FOX Business' Connell McShane reports from Atlanta, Georgia, where candidates are looking to challenge incumbent Gov. Brian Kemp and the state economy's budget surplus.

Four years ago, with the support of Trump, Kemp narrowly defeated Democrat Stacey Abrams to win the governorship. But Kemp earned Trump’s ire starting in late 2020, after he certified now President Biden’s narrow victory in Georgia in the presidential election, following two recounts of the vote. Trump, who had unsuccessfully urged Kemp and other top Republican officials in the state to overturn the results, has repeatedly vowed to return to Georgia to campaign against Kemp.

Abrams, a former Democratic leader in the state legislature and a voting rights champion who’s become a rising star in the Democratic Party, faces nominal primary opposition as she runs a second straight time for governor.
