Donald Trump is changing his tune on Georgia’s Republican governor after delivering a series of blistering attacks at a rally just weeks ago. In a social media post, Trump thanked Gov. Brian Kemp for his help and support in Georgia. At a rally earlier this month, Trump tore into the governor, blaming him for his narrow 2020 loss in the state.
Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump speaks along the southern border with Mexico, Thursday, Aug. 22, 2024, in Sierra Vista, Ariz. FILE - Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp speaks in the spin room before a presidential debate between President Joe Biden and Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump in Atlanta, June 27, 2024. Republican vice presidential nominee Sen.
In a roughly 10-minute tirade on Aug. 3, Trump railed against Kemp for not giving into his false theories of election fraud. He also blamed the governor for not stopping a local district attorney from prosecuting him and several associates for his efforts to overturn the results. Both could be crucial as Democratic nominee and Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign has put Georgia back on a path to another extremely close election.
“I read the headlines,” Vance told reporters. “Brian Kemp and Donald Trump have had some disagreements. I can 100% guarantee you that Brian Kemp is behind this ticket. He wants us to win.” That’s in part because it’s clear that Kemp, who has raised his national profile as vice chair of the Republican Governors Association, is still eyeing political possibilities that could include a 2026 run for the Senate against Democrat Jon Ossoff, or maybe even his own 2028 bid for president. Abandoning Trump could complicate Kemp’s chances of winning a Senate bid and obliterate his chance of becoming the nominee of what is now firmly Trump’s Republican Party.
