Former Arkansas governor and presidential candidate Mike Huckabee on Thursday endorsed Nathan Deal for governor.

Deal, a former congressman, and Karen Handel, the former secretary of state, are battling as Tuesday's GOP nomination runoff approaches.

Handel ran first in the July 20 primary, but lacked a majority, setting up the runoff against Deal, who finished second.

Huckabee carried Georgia in the 2008 Republican presidential primary, but was second in the delegate count to U.S. Sen. John McCain of Arizona.
