The primary was a humiliation for former President Donald Trump and a colossal victory for incumbent Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, who defeated Perdue by 52 percent. Perdue, endorsed by Trump, campaigned on the Big Lie, falsely claiming that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump and slamming Kemp for acknowledging that now-President Joe Biden legitimately won in Georgia.
But after his loss, Perdue wasted no time congratulating Kemp — and he is now urging Georgia Republicans to vote for the conservative Georgia governor, who is competing with Democratic nominee Stacey Abrams in the general election. Kemp narrowly defeated Abrams in Georgia’s gubernatorial election of 2018.
Refusing to accept that she received only 3.4% of the vote in Georgia's GOP gubernatorial primary, Kandiss Taylor claims God told her to ask her supporters to submit notarized affidavits declaring that they voted for her: "They actually were trying to make me look stupid." https://t.co/LvAzxYOdjy pic.twitter.com/SALdKjmLSc

In another post-election video, Taylor declared, “I do not concede. I do not. And if the people who did this and cheated are watching, I do not concede. And the people of Georgia will not allow me to…. I want you to feel, inside of your gut, a righteous anger for justice. I want you to pray specifically for dark to be brought to light, for justice for the state of Georgia. And anyone who has helped contribute to this crime, to this travesty…. I want you to pray that they feel so guilty, they come forward.”
Georgia Republican candidate Kandiss Taylor goes full theocracy explaining her “Jesus, guns, and babies” slogan:
