Perdue 'leaning heavily' toward challenging Warnock in Georgia
David Perdue, the former Republican senator from Georgia who lost one of two runoffs in the state last month, filed paperwork to run again in 2022 but has not yet made a final decision on whether to launch another campaign, according to two advisers.
Perdue lost his bid for a second term to now-Sen. Jon Ossoff in January after failing to get a majority of the vote in November. Ossoff's victory came alongside fellow Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock, who defeated appointed GOP Sen. Kelly Loeffler in a special election. But Warnock has to run again in 2022 for a full term, and Perdue is looking seriously at challenging him.
The former senator filed a statement of candidacy with the Federal Election Commission Monday night. A top Perdue adviser said the paperwork wasn't an announcement of a campaign, but a "legal step that had to be taken."
"He is close to making a decision, leaning heavily towards it, but will decide in [the] next few weeks," the adviser said.

The lobbyist cash and perks are too tempting.
