'soothe his own bruised ego'Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp hit out at his rival David Perdue for the Republican candidacy in next year's Georgia gubernatorial race, accusing the former senator of launching a vanity project.
David Perdue, was endorsed this week by former President Donald Trump. It followed him announcing his intention to run in a campaign video in which he repeatedly criticized Kemp.
Trump has been at odds with Kemp since the governor refused to back his baseless claims of election fraud in Georgia, a state which infuriated him by backing Joe Biden for president.
Trump on Monday called Kemp a "RINO," or "Republican in name only" and alleged that he had damaged "election integrity" in Georgia, an allegation based on the false claims of election fraud.
After it was reported on Sunday that Perdue planned to challenge Kemp in the race, a spokesperson for Kemp hit back at Perdue who lost his Georgia Senate seat to Democratic candidate Jon Kossoff in January saying he entered the race for egotistical reasons.

Georgia has open primaries, and I think we should avail ourselves of the opportunity to have an influence on the Republican nomination process this time around.
