Kemp didn't lock Georgia down. He didn't participate in Trump's horse shit vaccine sales pitches either. Because of that, the GA economy, especially in rural GA, was never truly hit by COVID hysteria. Most people vote with their wallet, not by listening to a vaccine salesman who gets steamrolled by democrats for four straight years but still goes out of his way to appease them.
Perdue was a sitting US Senator and did absolutely nothing to stop the democrats from stealing the election. In fact, he ignored it altogether because he's nothing but a weak paid to lose boomer. He grifted like a bitch once he announced he was running for Governor. Made nothing but empty promises about protecting elections. But Georgians aren't stupid. They know that Perdue had real power in 2020 but did nothing. Again, he's weak. Glad to see the weak boomers lose.
