The Republican candidates for Georgia governor, Brian Kemp and David Perdue, debated three times ahead of the May 2 start of early voting for the 2022 primary election.
Kemp, the incumbent, is facing a challenge from Perdue, the former U.S. senator and Kemp's one-time ally. Perdue lost his Senate seat to Jon Ossoff in the 2020 election, one Perdue and former President Donald Trump have falsely called fraudulent.
The winner of the Republican primary will advance to face Democrat Stacey Abrams in the November general election.
Here's where to watch replays of the Kemp-Perdue debates.
Sunday, April 24, in Atlanta
The first debate was held in Atlanta and was televised by WSB-TV. A replay is available for viewing at wsbtv.com.
Main takeaway: The session turned ugly quickly, with Perdue alleging the 2020 election was stolen during his opening remarks and chastising Kemp for not challenging the results. Kemp countered Perdue's attacks by saying, "Weak leaders blame everybody else for their own loss instead of themselves."
Thursday, April 28, in Savannah
The candidates met at a Savannah television studio. The debate was televised live on stations owned by Gray Television, include WTOC in Savannah, WRDW in Augusta, WGCL in Atlanta, WTVM in Columbus and WALB in Albany.
A replay is available on WTOC's Youtube channel.
Main takeaway: The candidates once again sparred over the 2020 election results but also addressed crime and the economy. Perdue advocated for eliminating the state income tax while Kemp highlighted the recent tax refund and tax cut.
Sunday, May 1, in Atlanta
The final Republican gubernatorial debate was hosted by the Atlanta Press Club and aired by Georgia Public Broadcasting.
A replay is available at the Atlanta Press Club's Facebook page.
Main takeaway: The final debate was the only one that included all five Republican candidates: Tom Williams, Catherine Davis and Kandiss Taylor as well as Kemp and Perdue. The newcomers joined Perdue in focusing their attention on Kemp, as was to be expected given the incumbent's strong polling numbers.
