Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and former Sen. David Perdue clashed over the results of the 2020 election during the state's GOP governor's debate Sunday night, blaming each other for Democratic gains in the last election cycle.
It marked the first primary debate between Perdue, whose most prominent supporter is former President Donald Trump, and Kemp, who the former President says betrayed him for refusing to help him overturn his defeat in 2020 and whom he has set out to dethrone.
While there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud in any state during the 2020 election, Perdue returned to the subject -- a central theme of his campaign -- several times throughout the hourlong debate and argued that Kemp did not do enough to challenge the state's election results.
