Republicans are increasingly looking to Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) to play a leading role in the party’s bid to take back the White House in 2024 and beyond following his decisive victory in last year’s midterm election.
Coming off a year that saw him easily shut down a primary challenge backed by former President Trump before routing Democrat Stacey Abrams in the general election, Kemp is having a political moment. Republicans downplay his interest in a presidential bid, but point to him as a potential running mate for the eventual nominee or, at the very least, a highly sought-after surrogate in a newly minted battleground state.
Multiple Kemp allies also raised the possibility of a Senate bid in 2026, when Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) will be up for reelection.
“After his accomplishment in the last election cycle, I think he has earned at a minimum elder statesman status,” said John Watson, a former Georgia GOP chairman and a close ally of Kemp. “The well-known battles with the former president, obviously the general race that was his second go-around with Stacey Abrams. I mean, the guy has packed a lifetime of politics into four years.”
“I think at a minimum, Republicans across the country ought to be picking up the phone and be talking to him.”

RINO Kemp is actually a disaster.
It’s getting too easy now. Whatever the MSM says, the opposite is true.
It’s their party, they can do with it as they wish.
Nope, not buying it, “Hill…”
Not for Deep State.
Clout with who? The WEF?
Republican’s Joe Manchin!
Said no one ever.
Oh let’s have leftist RINO show us the way. Gee I feel so much better....not
Kemp IS “DIRTY” he’s like picking a scam.
Kemp is the true RINO uniparty candidate, not DeSantis who has governed with near perfect conservatism while poking the left in the eye with style.
The Radical left wing The Shill a pack of sociopaths .
Sure thing . LOL .
To swine like The Hill, but not so much for real Republicans.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA
Yea, good luck with that...
The GOPe/Uniparty/Globalist can keep pushing these turds all they like...
Not Gonna Happen..
Let me give my big donors wife a Senate Seat she is utterly unqualified for, and help turn the Senate over when she has to face the voters next election....
SWAMP... No thank you.
Understand something, the Uniparty/Globalist/Establishment hacks on the Hill are the Republican Party...
You plebes out in the country who vote, you generally aren’t Republicans, you are conservatives..... and the Republican Party will never ever offer you anything more than lip service for your vote.
Sooner you grasp that, the sooner you understand the real problem.
Was this opening line to the article supposed to be a joke, because it did make me LOL.
BS!
LOL!
See also Larry Hogan.. and I’m sure there will be others.
Hope he does run. I could use a good laugh
