Former President Donald Trump continued his public feud with Georgia’s Republican governor, Brian Kemp, on the same day he held a campaign rally in the state. Trump criticized Kemp for not doing more to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia, where he lost to Joe Biden by a slim margin.
During his rally in Perry, Georgia, Trump accused Kemp of being “hapless” and “weak” for not challenging the election results, despite Trump’s repeated claims of voter fraud in the state. Trump also reiterated his support for Kemp’s primary challenger, David Perdue, in the upcoming gubernatorial race.
Kemp has been a target of Trump’s ire since the 2020 election, when he refused to intervene in the certification of Georgia’s election results, which showed Biden as the winner. Trump has since called Kemp a “disaster” and urged Perdue to run against him in the Republican primary.
Despite Trump’s attacks, Kemp has remained steadfast in his support for the election results and has pushed back against Trump’s claims of widespread voter fraud. In a recent statement, Kemp’s campaign manager reaffirmed the governor’s commitment to upholding the rule of law and ensuring fair elections in Georgia.
The feud between Trump and Kemp has highlighted the ongoing divisions within the Republican Party, as Trump continues to exert his influence over party politics. As Trump campaigns for Perdue and other loyalists in the upcoming elections, the rift between Trump supporters and establishment Republicans like Kemp is likely to deepen.
