Kemp and Perdue hosted events across the state of Georgia and made final pushes to voters, ahead of Tuesday’s primary.

On Saturday, Kemp made a stop in Watkinsville, near his hometown of Athens. He was joined by Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts.

“It’s great to have the 40th governor of Nebraska, with me today, but listen, he’s a lot more than that. That was very nice of him to talk about how great Georgia’s economy is, because normally we’re arguing over who has the lowest unemployment rate,” Kemp said.

On Friday, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin joined Perdue in Savannah, as he tried to ramp up support.

“This is a race between people and politicians. I’m an outsider. I had a 40-year business career. I ran for the United States Senate in 2014 to help change the direction of the country,” Perdue said.

Monday will be a huge day for both Kemp and Perdue.

Former Vice President Mike Pence will be in Georgia campaigning with Kemp.
