Sen. David Perdue (R-Georgia) speaking with Denis O’Hayer on “Morning Edition.”

Recent polls have indicated Georgia is now a toss-up state in the 2016 presidential race ─ with Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton within a few percentage points of each other, and usually within the polls’ margins of error.

One of Trump’s most prominent ─ and enthusiastic ─ Georgia supporters has been U.S. Senator David Perdue. On Tuesday, Perdue talked about the campaign, and other issues, in a roundtable with reporters in downtown Atlanta.  After that session, he sat down for a few minutes with WABE’s Denis O’Hayer.
