Former Sen. David Perdue’s (R-GA) challenge to incumbent Republican Gov. Brian Kemp is perhaps the most closely watched race in Tuesday’s Georgia midterm primaries, but if polls are the least bit accurate it won’t be a contest. Latest Fox News poll has Kemp leading Perdue by 60% to 28%. Donald J. Trump had endorsed Perdue because Kemp made no effort to turn over the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia, though the ex-president has since backed down from that as polls have overwhelmingly favored Kemp, who will face Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams for the second time in four years, this November.

Meanwhile in Georgia’s U.S. Senate race Republican Herschel Walker, the former football star and Heisman Trophy winner endorsed by Trump is leading the race to face Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock in November. [An earlier version of this story incorrectly named Walker as challenger to Sen. Jon Ossoff (D), who beat Perdue for a six-year term in January 2021.]
