David Perdue is joining a lawsuit with President Trump seeking to prove they were both cheated out of victory, nearly a year after their losses in the Peach State.
The suit comes just days after Perdue, a former Senator who lost reelection this year, announced he will challenge GOP Gov. Brian Kemp in the 2022 gubernatorial race. Kemp was a frequent target of Trump who said the governor did not do enough to overturn his election loss.
The suit claims that fraudulent and counterfeit ballots were counted in Fulton County, the state's most populous.
Perdue, who served in the Senate from 2015 to 2021, was recruited to run by Trump after he turned on Kemp. The former president even quipped during a rally that he would rather see Democrat Stacey Abrams in charge of Georgia than Kemp.
Trump's claims about widespread election fraud have been blamed for dividing Georgia Republicans ahead of a pair of U.S. Senate run-off elections last January, in which Perdue was defeated by Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff.
