How dare Kemp defy the President who propelled him to the governorship!!!
Without PDJT, Georgia may very well have Stacey Abrams in the State House.
Oh, how I wish President Trump had an effective, loyal party with which to govern!!!
I think you've got it backward -- Trump would not have won the GOP nomination without Kemp. As Georgia's secretary of state in 2016, Brian Kemp organized the "SEC Primary" in which Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia defied the RNC by changing their primaries to March 1, 2016. This negated the RNC's traditional fix which had always given "moderate" candidates a head start by piling up delegates in the early primaries of more liberal states. President Trump has acknowledged Kemp's pivotal role in his 2016 nomination.
“Defy the President?” Trump doesn’t make Senatorial appointments. Governors do. Call me crazy, but I’m a big fan of separation of powers. I don’t want the President assuming Gubernatorial authority.
