Perdue Files Paperwork Showing He Is Exploring 2022 Run
Former Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.) filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) on Monday showing that he is considering a run for the U.S. Senate in 2022.
Perdue lost the 2020 election to Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) and would be up against Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.), who defeated then-Georgia Sen. Kelly Loeffler in the same dual runoff election in early January. Warnock is up for re-election because he is serving out the term unfinished by former Sen. Johnny Isakson’s (R-Ga.).
The filing designates Perdue for Senate as the principal campaign committee and authorizes several other committees to raise and expend funds on his behalf. The designated committees include the Texas-based Cruz Senate Victory and The Founders Committee, alongside Perdue Victory Inc. and Team Perdue.

Plugged-in Georgia political commentator and radio host Erick Erickson recently joined my radio show and sounded guardedly bullish about Republicans chances in the January 5th Senate runoffs (early voting for which is currently underway). In a new online post, Erickson expounds on what he s seeing and hearing, and it s more convincing than a handful of potentially-unreliable polls, which we told you about yesterday. Right now, it appears if the election were held today, the Democrats would win because of their early vote. But the GOP has gotten it closer than they did in the general and will surge into election day. Because the GOP is keeping early voting close, they’ll most likely cross the finish line on January 5th ahead of the Democrats, Erickson writes.
