The big questions: While Perdue still hasn’t made his intentions known himself, it is clear that the prospect has Republicans in Georgia divided.

Would it spell a bloody primary and a Republican loss in November?

Or would Perdue be the best candidate to turn out the most Republican voters, given his popularity with former President Trump?

One take, from a Kemp ally who spoke on condition of anonymity: “A Perdue primary campaign against the most conservative governor in the history of our state would be one enormous, ego-driven in-kind contribution to Stacey Abrams’ campaign for governor.”

“This war would drag down every other Republican on the ticket and destroy everything Georgia Republicans have built over the last 20 years.”
