President Donald Trump on Wednesday endorsed Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp in Tuesday's heated Republican gubernatorial primary runoff election.
"Brian is tough on crime, strong on the border and illegal immigration," Trump said on Twitter. "I give him my full and total endorsement."
Kemp is primarily squaring off against Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle, who is favored by the state's party establishment — with various polls showing either candidate holding razor-thin margins over the other.
Three other candidates are running in the primary, though Cagle and Kemp are seen as front-runners.
