Donald Trump and Mike Pence will find themselves dueling in a virtual boxing ring on Monday night in Georgia where the winner — and loser — will be decided the next day. The former president and his ex-vice president have picked opposing camps in the Georgia gubernatorial race in what appears to be the pinnacle of their proxy war since the two men fell out after the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack and Pence’s decision to certify Joe Biden’s electoral win. Pence will be stumping for the incumbent Gov. Brian Kemp Monday night in Kennesaw, Georgia, while Trump holds a tele-rally for his preferred candidate, former Sen. David Perdue. Both events will happen the night before Georgians head to the polls on Tuesday to determine which Republican will challenge likely Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams in November. For Pence, campaigning against the Trump-backed candidate on his home turf marks the former vice president’s boldest break yet with his old boss. The latest polls show Kemp ahead of Perdue by about 30 points. That would put Pence in the more-likely winning camp and Trump on the losing side.
