Inevitably, there are still questions about why Kemp decided to forgo the Senate race and what, at age 61, he will do next.
"However, don't count him out politically. He has a big kitty of donations. And some supporters tout him as a potential 2028 presidential candidate or a 2028 vice presidential pick."

You obviously don’t live in Georgia
Kemp is useless
I think I was clear that I don’t.
However, I *am* familiar with basic math. And I see in the 2022 primary:
Kemp: 73.72% (888K votes)
Collins: 21.78% (263.2K votes)
Taylor: 3.42% (41K votes)
...and others.
Seems to me like the hated Kemp got nearly 3/4 of the GOP primary vote. So perhaps your hatred of him isn’t shared by the other GOP primary voters.
In the General Election, I see he beat the blob:
Kemp: 53.41% (2.112m votes)
Blob: 45.88% (1.813m votes)
Seems to me that even if all his primary opponents had held their breath till they turned blue (pun intended), he’d still have ended up in a virtual tie in the GE.
But hey, you do you. To me? I wish he was my governor. He ticks all the right boxes - and better yet - has his own mind. But... you prefer a rubber stamp automaton. We’ll see how far that gets you.
Between that and supposedly taking money from the CCP to install Dominion voting machines he should be in prison.
“Kemp wouldn’t win the Georgia senate seat. He ain’t that well loved”
Kemp has a 61% approval rating, among the highest for sitting governors. He has the best chance among likely candidates to beat Ossoff. Doug Collins *might* be able to beat Ossoff if he resigns his VA cabinet post to run for the Senate seat. MTG has no chance of beating Ossoff. Who else is out there to run against Ossoff?
I can tell you’re not from Georgia. We don’t want to reward the guy who helped the criminal GA Speaker of the House keep the constitutional carry bill from co.I g to the floor for a vote for 5 years. Kemp only got behind it when he thought he might not get re-elected for a second term.
We don’t want the criminal who sold a senate seat to Kelly Loeffler for $500,000 instead of appointing Doug Collins who would have been stellar. It was so blatant even the Atlanta Journal Constitution outed him.
We don’t want the traitor that took money from the CCP to install Dominion voting machines in GA to be a US senator.
We don’t want a guy who conspired with Doug Raffensperger to cover up the 2020 voting fraud in GA elevated to the US Senate.
Well, how about Brian Kemp?
Could you settle for him?
“I wish he was my governor”
So do we! 😆
Kemp won’t win a Ga senate race
No pun intended by your FReep name, but Kemp has dirty secrets.
He was told to stay out or face disclosure.
Just for S#!1$ and grins I ask Grok:
The top Georgian Republicans likely to fill Kemp’s void in the 2026 Senate race are Buddy Carter, Mike Collins, Rich McCormick, John King, Brad Raffensperger, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Tyler Harper. Carter and McCormick stand out for their electability and establishment support, while Greene’s Trump ties and fundraising make her a primary threat but a riskier general election candidate. King and Raffensperger have statewide experience but face polling challenges, and Harper is a dark horse with rural appeal. The primary will likely be contentious, with Trump’s endorsement playing a major role.
The way things are, here on Free Republic, is that if someone has ever said or done anything to offend certain Freepers , then that person is condemned as useless.
You can’t have a conversation with some people here, because they don’t want to hear talk of his entire record, or consider whatever conservative credentials someone does have. They don’t want to hear his record in office.
Instead, whatever grievance they have against someone cancels out the entire public record of such office holders or candidates for office.
Good. He sucks.
“From afar, Brian Kemp has been one of the most effective, most successful, and best GOP governors of the last ~decade.”
I suggest thicker lens.
He’s awful. He let the Dems take the state because he is one.
Selfish, greedy, egotistical jerk.
AI is as dumb as AS - artificial stupidity.
Name one thing he’s done except give the Dems what they want?
We don’t need another Susan Collins, Cowski, Paul, Tillis, McConnell type.
Some others here have outlined some of his record.
I think you are proving my point in a way, in that, you are saying he has not done anything positive. You take the position that all he has ever done is give Democrats all they want. Then how the heck did he get elected and reelected , winning GOP primaries convincingly?
Well, have your opinion. We all have them.
Politicians that do nothing get elected all the time.
Look at my governor Bill Lee of TN. Huge victories and totally useless. I never voted for him.
Don Sundquist got overwhelming elected to 2 terms as a GOP governor and then tried to shove an unconstitutional income tax on us.
Voters can be stupid and lazy.
Kemp would go against Trump in the Senate like the other RINOS.
Let the Dems steal the 2 Senate seats along with Ratz.
Go ahead and love him all you want.
LOL. I don’t love Kemp, just want an honest view of his record, pluses and minuses.
You have a nice day......
Butts in seats for numbers sake?
Like Collins, MurCowSki, Paul, McConnell, Tillis?
Yes. Trump can handle them.
