With his challenge struggling, David Perdue gets help from Trump

David Perdue is calling in heavy-duty firepower to gain ground against Gov. Brian Kemp.

Former President Donald Trump will hold a March 16 fundraiser at Mar-A-Lago for the Republican challenger, who is trailing Kemp in both fundraising and in public polls.

Trump is also expected to headline at least one rally for Perdue and other Georgia candidates he’s endorsed ahead of the May 24 primary. And members of Trump’s family, including Don Jr., plan to crisscross the state on the former U.S. senator’s behalf.
