In two closely watched Republican primary elections, two incumbents managed to keep their seats despite vigorous challengers stirred up by the former president
better part of a decade, the contingent of Americans hopeful that Donald Trump’s spell over the Republican Party would soon break have been dealt setback after setback. The night of May 24th proved to be a respite. In two closely watched Republican primary elections held in the state of Georgia, two incumbents—Brian Kemp, the governor, and Brad Raffensperger, the secretary of state—managed to keep their seats despite vigorous challengers stirred up by the former president.
In the end, it was not particularly close. Mr Kemp won 73.7% of his vote, smashing David Perdue—an ultra-wealthy former business executive and senator. Mr Perdue, who unconvincingly reinvented himself as a conspiratorial nationalist with no discernible character traits save Trumpism, has probably authored his permanent and ignominious exit from politics.
More importantly, the race was not a referendum on Trumpism. Both men were careful never to betray any animosity towards the former president. “I’m not mad at him. I think he’s just mad at me,” Mr Kemp said before the vote. He received an endorsement visit from Mike Pence, the former vice-president whom Mr Trump now despises because he, too, would not overturn a democratic election.
