Former Republican Georgia Sen. David Perdue released a statement Tuesday explaining why he is considering a run against Democratic Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock in 2022.
Perdue filed forms Monday with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to indicate that he will again run for Senate in Georgia in 2022, explaining in a Tuesday statement that he is still considering the run to help regain a majority in the Senate for Republicans.

Perdue conceded to his Democratic opponent Jon Ossoff in the Senate runoff election in Georgia on Jan. 8. If he will run again in 2022, it would be against Warnock, who defeated former Republican Georgia Sen. Kelly Loeffler in the runoff election. Warnock is serving out the remainder of former Republican Sen. Johnny Isakson’s term. Isakson retired at the end of 2019 due to health concerns.
