There's nothing unusual about it. See my last post on this thread.
The GOP wanted someone in this seat who could finance her own campaigns in 2020 and 2022. It's really that simple.
Well, I think there is. I think it's unusual in this environment to rebuff Trump. I also think it's unusual that Kemp not explain his pick. It's certainly not required, but it is unusual in this razor-thin majority, fight to death environment.
I wish Kemp would explain his reasons. He hasn't done so to my knowledge. Financing would be a valid reason - hell, any reason would be helpful to all three of them.
