President Donald Trump and Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp found the perfect narrative Thursday night to upstage Comrade Kamala’s nomination acceptance speech, ending their feud dating to the 2020 election with a full-throated embrace that played out on national television.
The mutual endorsement reunited two of the GOP’s most powerful figures heading into the November election and made the road for the Left to score a win in Georgia more difficult.
Kemp said on Fox News’ Hannity show:
We need to send Donald Trump back to the White House.
Trump is leading in the polls in Georgia, and Kemp owns one of the country’s most formidable state political machines, which propelled him to a landslide win in 2022 over communist/globalist Stacey Abrams in the Georgia governor race.
Trump said minutes later on Truth Social:
Thank you to #BrianKempGA for all of your help and support in Georgia, where a win is so important to the success of our Party and, most importantly, our Country.
I look forward to working with you, your team, and all of my friends in Georgia to help MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
The embrace ended a rift that looked intractable as recently as just a few weeks ago when Trump launched a political attack on Kemp and his wife during a stop in Georgia, raising GOP fears the two would not work together to secure a win in the Peach State.
Whether this bromance was an instance of “cooler heads prevailed” or the entire tactic was another example of Trump’s wise business acumen, the coming together to achieve a common goal signaled a successfully repaired relationship and a win/win for both Trump and Kemp who will likely seek a U.S. Senate seat from Georgia in 2026.
Campaign sources said several figures played a key role in nudging the two political heavyweights toward mending fences, including Sean Hannity, South Carolina Sen. Lindsay Graham, and Home Depot cofounder Bernie Marcus, the dean of conservative donors and a longtime supporter of both men.
Final thoughts: The Georgia GOP is made up of voters who are either afraid of Kemp or they simply do not trust him. He is a Uniparty RINO who has been compromised if for no other reason by a tragic mysterious death ((December 2020) of someone close to his family.
Kemp has double-crossed Trump once, hopefully he proves himself trustworthy to Trump this go-around, however, for Georgia voters he is simply the lesser of all evils.
