Former Sen. David Perdue on Monday launched a gubernatorial bid in Georgia, putting him on a crash course with Gov. Brian Kemp in the Republican primary and raising concerns that the showdown could hurt the party.

Mr. Perdue, who lost a Senate reelection bid in a runoff this year, said he is intent on stopping Democrat Stacey Abrams from becoming governor.

“Make no mistake, Abrams will smile, lie and cheat to transform Georgia into her radical vision of a state that would look more like California or New York,” Mr. Perdue said in his announcement video. “To fight back, we simply have to be united.”

Ms. Abrams, a voting rights activist and former minority leader in Georgia’s House of Representatives, recently announced she was running for governor.

“Unfortunately today we are divided and Brian Kemp and [Secretary of State] Brad Raffensberger are to blame,” Mr. Perdue said. “This isn’t personal. It’s simple: He has failed all of us and cannot win in November.”

Former President Donald Trump urged Mr. Perdue to enter the governor’s race. Mr. Trump is angry that Mr. Kemp and Mr. Raffensberger did not buy into his stolen election claims, which have been blamed for depressing turnout in Georgia’s close runoff races.

Rep. Jody Hice, another Trump ally, is running to unseat Mr. Raffensberger.

Mr. Perdue, in his video, said Mr. Kemp and Mr. Raffensberger are to blame for the GOP losing a pair of Senate seats.

“Think of how different it would be today if Kemp fought Abrams first instead of Trump,” he said. “It is time for a change.”

Mr. Perdue said he will push to eliminate the state income tax, confront rising crime and give parents a bigger say in public education.

“We face an unprecedented onslaught from the woke left in Georgia and across the country,” he said. “We cannot keep giving in, and caving in to their demands. We must simply fight back to protect Georgia.”

Mr. Kemp defeated Ms. Abrams in the 2018 governor’s race. Mr. Kemp had the support of Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump claimed credit for Ms. Abrams’ defeat.

Mr. Trump, however, failed to carry the state in 2020.

President Biden became the first Democrat to win the state in a presidential election since Bill Clinton in 1992.

In the runoff races, Mr. Perdue lost his seat to Democrat Jon Ossoff, a documentary filmmaker. Democrat Raphael Warnock edged out Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler, who had been appointed to her seat by Mr. Kemp.

The results created a 50-50 split between Democrats and Republicans in the U.S. Senate, making Vice President Kamala Harris the tie-breaking vote.

Mr. Trump insists Mr. Kemp and Mr. Raffensberger turned a blind eye to voter fraud and corruption in the state. Mr. Kemp and Mr. Raffensberger counter that Mr. Trump was defeated fair and square.

.. Perdue began his career in 1972 at Kurt Salmon Associates,[16] an international consulting firm, where he worked for 12 years as a management consultant,[21] leaving in 1984.[16] From 1991 to 1992, Perdue was a managing director at international clothing company Gitano Group Inc. in Singapore.[22][23][24] In 1992, Perdue took a position as senior vice president of Asia operations for Sara Lee Corporation. During his tenure, Perdue was involved in sourcing suppliers in China and Hong Kong while the company closed dozens of plants in the U.S., four of them in Georgia.[16] Two years later, Perdue became senior vice president of operations at Haggar Clothing,[22][25] increasing international production in lower-cost countries to 75 percent of the company's operations.[16]

In 1998, Perdue joined Reebok as a senior vice president, eventually rising to president and CEO of the Reebok Brand.[26] He is credited with rejuvenating its sneaker line. Perdue negotiated a contract with the National Football League that a former Reebok executive called "revolutionary" for repositioning the company's shoe brand.[12]

Perdue left Reebok in June 2002 to become the CEO of PillowTex, a North Carolina textile company.[27] The company had recently emerged from bankruptcy with a heavy debt load and an underfunded pension liability. Unable to obtain additional funding from the company's investors or find a buyer for the company, he left the company in 2003 after nine months on the job and $1.7 million in compensation.[28] An internal auditor noted that Perdue's long absences from its North Carolina Headquarters was "terrible for morale. We felt he'd given up."[29] In July 2003, Pillowtex announced it would go out of business,[30] leaving 7,650 workers out of work nationwide.[28]

After leaving Pillowtex, Perdue became CEO of Dollar General.[31] Before he joined the company, it had recently overstated profits by $100 million and paid $162 million to settle shareholder lawsuits. Perdue overhauled the company's inventory line and logistics network and updated its marketing strategy. After initially closing hundreds of stores, the company doubled its stock price and opened 2,600 new stores.[12] During his four years as CEO, almost 2,500 individual employment cases were filed in federal court against the company, compared to 76 in the prior four years.[32]

Perdue is credited for arranging the sale of Dollar General in 2007 to private equity investors KKR. In 2007 and 2008, he received $42 million in compensation from Dollar General.[33] After the sale to KKR, Dollar General faced shareholder lawsuits alleging that Perdue and other executives undersold shareholders;[34] it paid $40 million to settle those lawsuits.[35][36]

From 2007 to 2009, Perdue worked as a senior consultant for Indian chemical and textile conglomerate Gujarat Heavy Chemicals Ltd.[37] In July 2010, his cousin, then-governor Sonny Perdue, appointed him as a director of the Georgia Ports Authority.[38] In April 2011, he started Perdue Partners, an Atlanta-based global trading firm,[12] with his cousin, whose term had ended in January 2011, and two former state officials.[39]

In December 2012, Perdue Partners acquired Benton Express, an Atlanta-based logistics company,[40] and renamed it Benton Global. In February 2013, Benton Global began hauling cargo directly from the port, rather than contracting out for trucking services.[41] Perdue left the ports board in mid-2013.[35] Benton Global closed abruptly in 2015.[16]

From 2010 to 2014, Perdue served on the board of directors of the data marketing firm Cardlytics. He acquired 75,000 shares in compensation for his board service. When Cardlytics became publicly owned, Perdue made $6 million from the shares.[42][43]

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has described Perdue as having a "mixed" business record, but says that he was "known on Wall Street as a turnaround specialist who helps revive brands and reap rewards for investors."[12][35] Most of his jobs involved outsourcing jobs overseas, and he said in a deposition, "I spent most of my career doing that."[16][44] ..

Hearing talk of raising the debt ceiling & NDAA being coupled.

Republicans must keep them separate & vote NO especially if MIRV rule comes to play.

Don’t allow passing the NDAA help raise the debt ceiling for Biden’s agenda BIF & BBB funding - once passed.

BIG TRAP FOR R’s!

NDAA negotiations must involve stopping the covid vaccine mandates and drafting our daughters.

Ending the draft makes more sense and reduces the cost of the NDAA.

And NO funding for the Office of Extremism, aka funding to target & throw out Trump supporters in the military.

With a razor thin vote margin in the House and 50/50 plus the filibuster in the Senate, Republicans have useful power, when we all stand solidly together and refuse to negotiate away or vote away key issues that will only help Biden and the Democrats.

Opportunity to win here.

With 250,000+ military members not yet vaccinated, removing the Vax mandate is HUGE.

All Vietnam Veterans can tell you how bad the draft was, adding our daughters is terrible move.

Republican voters are sick of being targeted, stopping Office of Extremism is a must.

These are very big issues that will resonate with our base, and I would love to see House and Senate Republicans bring in a W.

Especially when it’s very possible.

In other words, the whiter the neighborhood, the fewer crime predictions.

The same trend proved true for income: the wealthier the neighborhood, the fewer predictions. /3

And so PredPol continues to make crime predictions that are incredibly unevenly distributed by race. Take these two neighborhoods in Plainfield, N.J. – where 11 crimes were predicted in the White neighborhood and 1,940 in the Black & Brown neighborhood. /13

"New York CNN Business —

A memoir by a fired former deputy director of the FBI? In normal times, it might not attract much attention. But in the Trump years, it becomes a best seller.

Andrew McCabe’s “The Threat” reached No. 1 on Amazon’s best selling books list on Monday, one day before its official release. “The Threat” bumped Michelle Obama’s book “Becoming,” which has been at the top of the chart almost every day since it came out last November.

Sales have been fueled by McCabe’s interview on “60 Minutes,” excerpts published by numerous news outlets, and a controversy over his criticism of President Donald Trump. It is just the latest in a long line of books to benefit from interest and fears about the Trump presidency.

The president’s anti-McCabe tweets may have boosted sales, too, although it’s hard to say for sure.

The tweets certainly drove additional news coverage, causing heightened awareness of the book.

Appearing on “The View” on Tuesday morning, McCabe bemoaned Trump’s “blatantly false” tweets.

“The president has been lying about me and my family for the last two years,” he said.

Co-host Ana Navarro, who is also a CNN commentator, put a positive spin on it: “When Trump tweets against you, don’t get sad, honey. Get happy,” she said.”It’s the best thing that can happen for your book sales.”

As the audience laughed and applauded, McCabe said, “I suppose that’s possible.”

On Tuesday the book slipped to No. 2 on Amazon’s constantly-updated best sellers list, but it remained No. 1 on the list of new releases. (Tuesday’s No. 1 book on Amazon is the three-year-old memoir “Five Presidents” by veteran Secret Service agent Clint Hill. The sudden rush of sales was thanks to a Facebook post by TV host Mike Rowe, who described a chance encounter with Hill. Rowe encouraged people to buy Hill’s book, and the Facebook post went viral, with 175,000 shares so far.)

The book is also in the top five on the Barnes and Noble website.

“The Threat” — filled with serious warnings about dysfunction inside the Trump White House and the Justice Department — was acquired by St. Martin’s Press last fall. It was originally going to come out in December, but the FBI’s required pre-publication review process took longer than expected.

Once the new February release date was set, McCabe’s team set up an enviable rollout schedule. The book launch began with a two-part feature on “60 Minutes,” the most watched news program in the country.

On Sunday night, it was also the highest-rated show of any kind on network TV.

McCabe was live on the “Today” show and “The View” on Tuesday. He will also speak with CNN’s Anderson Cooper on “AC360” Tuesday night. And he is booked on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”
