Gov. Brian Kemp.
  • Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp says he'll back Trump should the ex-president win the GOP nomination.
  • Trump's hand-picked candidate was unable to unseat Kemp in last year's GOP gubernatorial primary.
  • Kemp told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Trump "would still be a lot better than Biden."

Former President Donald Trump last year recruited ex-Sen. David Perdue to oust Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp from office after he refused to help the then-commander-in-chief overturn Joe Biden's 2020 presidential victory in the state.

Perdue eventually lost the GOP gubernatorial primary in a landslide.
