Donald Trump picked a new fight Saturday with Georgia’s Republican governor as he campaigned in the key swing state where he’s looking to avenge his narrow 2020 loss — a defeat he continues to blame on GOP officials for not giving into his false theories of election fraud.
Trump attacked Gov. Brian Kemp on his social media site before his rally and said Kemp should be “fighting Crime, not fighting Unity and the Republican Party.” He also criticized Kemp’s wife, Marty, for saying she would write in her husband’s name for president this fall instead of voting for the Republican nominee.
At Saturday’s rally, Trump assailed Kemp in a roughly 10-minute tirade, blaming him for his loss to Democratic President Joe Biden and for not stopping a local district attorney from prosecuting him and several associates for his efforts to overturn the results.
“He’s a bad guy. He’s a disloyal guy. And he’s a very average governor,” Trump said. “Little Brian, little Brian Kemp. Bad guy.”
As a Georgian, I hope he loses again because the motivation for that might go down ballot too. Fuck em.
Those two senators aren’t on the ballot this year right?
No, neither of them are. Senate terms are for 6 years, and Warnock came in on a special election to finish a term, then ran again to get a full term which he won, so those seats are safe a little longer. Still, our state house is dominated by Republicans, so it would be nice to have some better representation in the state.
If the Georgia legislature turns even somewhat more blue that could start a cascade around the state that might spread to the surrounding states. Atl please, for me your son who moved across the country for work
