[Gov. Brian Kemp](https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2022/05/20/georgia-gop-primary-voters-trump-kemp-dnt-ac360-zeleny-vpx.cnn), the Republican whom Trump has targeted over his refusal to embrace the lie that widespread fraud cost the former President the 2020 election, is expected to easily fend off a challenge from Trump-backed [former Sen. David Perdue](https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/09/politics/david-perdue-senate-republican-reaction/index.html). A Kemp victory would showcase the limits of Trump's influence in a state that will be home to some of [the 2022 midterm election's most important contests](https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/01/politics/senate-race-rankings-may-elections/index.html).
