Governor Brian Kemp of Georgia has easily dispatched Donald Trump’s hand-picked challenger in a Republican primary that demonstrated the limits of the former president and his conspiracy-fuelled politics in a critical US swing state.

Mr Kemp will face Democrat Stacey Abrams this autumn in what will be one of America’s most consequential governor’s races.
