candidates to run against the republican who is defied him, a sort of authoritarian revenge tour. here s the news tonight as we approach tomorrow s primary. fresh signs that tour may fail. trump s hand picked challenger to the governor, backing the big lie by claiming that the actual winner joe biden stole the race. first off, folks, let me be very clear tonight the election in 2020 was rigged and stolen. all that started right here in georgia when our governor caved and allowed radical democrats to steal our election. so, that s what trump s candidate perdue is selling, and trump s using his mega phone to brand the incumbent governor, kemp, as a turncoat or coward. but trump s not pulling out all the stops to campaign for him, instead offering a telerally for perdue tonight, and that bring us to the facts portion of this little interscene primary brawl. how is this actually playing in republican primary where we ve heard from politicos and d.c. elites so much about don
