Former Sen. Perdue Will Not Run in 2022
There was a lot of speculation last week that former U.S. Senator David Perdue may challenge U.S. Senator Raphael Warnock in 2022. However, Perdue laid those rumors to rest with a statement to his supporters stating that he will not run:
Dear Friends,
After much prayer and reflection, Bonnie and I have decided that we will not enter the race for the United States Senate in Georgia in 2022. This is a personal decision, not a political one. I am confident that whoever wins the Republican Primary next year will defeat the Democrat candidate in the General election for this seat, and I will do everything I can to make that happen. As we saw in my race in November, Georgia is not a blue state. The more Georgians that vote, the better Republicans do. These two current liberal US Senators do not represent the values of a majority of Georgians.
I am hopeful that the Georgia General Assembly, along with our statewide elected officials, will correct the inequities in our state laws and election rules so that, in the future, every legal voter will be treated equally and illegal votes will not be included. I will do everything I can to be helpful in this effort.
It has been the honor of my life to have represented the people of Georgia in the United States Senate. Bonnie and I want to thank my fantastic staff and everybody in the state and around the country for all the help they have given us. May God continue to bless Georgia and the United States of America.
God Bless,David and Bonnie Perdue

Thank you Jesus, this empty suit has no place in government. He would have lost by at least 8% and would never be in contention.
So he is sticking with the stolen election story. Couldn’t have been that he has the political charisma of a dead trout? If Republicans in the legislature wanted to improve their chances in the ’24 election they will give us jungle primaries not voter suppression. With Abrams and Warnock being locks don’t think the Democrats won’t be crossing over to help get Collins or any other Trumper to oppose their candidates in the General.
