Georgia primaries: Trump-backed Perdue trounced by Pence's pick
Donald Trump 's grip on the Republican Party suffered a slip after his handpicked candidate for Georgia governor was trounced at the polls.
Mr Trump recruited David Perdue , an ex-senator, to challenge incumbent Brian Kemp in the Republican primaries.
Mr Kemp had rejected Mr Trump's pleas to overturn the 2020 Georgia election results.
But as ballots were counted, Mr Perdue was So Far behind that he was defeated before half the votes were in.
The result sets up a general election rematch between Mr Kemp and Democratic candidate Stacy Abrams, who had accused the Republican of suppressing votes in her previous tilt at The Governor 's seat in 2018.
Allegations of unfair voting practices are likely to emerge again in the crucial state, where a highly competitive Senate race is also due to take place in November.
Democrats wrested The State 's two Senate seats from Republicans in 2021 - including one from Mr Perdue - to gain a slim majority in the upper chamber of the US Congress.
However, one senator, Raphael Warnock , must now defend his post against Herschel Walker , a well-known former American Football player, who is also backed by Mr Trump.
But The Governor 's race was seen as the bigger test of the former president's clout.
Mr Kemp, a staunch conservative, drew the former president's ire after he certified that his state had been won by Joe Biden in 2020. Mr Trump had alleged that there were 11,000 votes for him to be found which would reverse the result, but The Governor disagreed.
Georgia's top election official, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger , also refused Mr Trump's entreaties at The Time , and is also up for re-election on Tuesday.
Mr Trump's claims that the election had been " stolen" from him has become a divisive issue within The Party , splitting " establishment" Republicans from Trump populists, even dividing the former president's own administration members.
In the primary, Mr Kemp was backed by Mr Trump's former deputy, Vice-President Mike Pence .
