Perdue Files With FEC, ‘Leaning Heavily Toward’ Challenging Raphael Warnock In 2022 Senate Race

David Perdue lost re-election to Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) in Georgia’s Senate runoff election on January 5, with Ossoff winning by just over 93,000 votes (2%). It now seems that Perdue is considering a 2022 Senate run against Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA), who beat Kelly Loeffler in Georgia’s special election.

According to Fox News, Perdue filed Federal Election Commission (FEC) paperwork on Monday evening “to become a candidate to run for Senate in 2022.” The paperwork designated a “principal campaign committee,” titled “Perdue for Senate.”
