“Even when it meant that they woud lose U.S. senate seats in a deal with the left.”
I’ve long suspected that Kemp made a deal to be re-elected Governor instead of Stacy Abrams in exchange for one (and just one) Georgia Senate seat. His hand-picked candidate, Kelly Loefler (and all her money) was supposed to be elected in 2020. He was happy for David Perdue to lose since Perdue’s cousin was the former governor and that faction still had some loyalty in the Georgia Dome. But there was no way he expected Loefler to lose after all the money she had donated and the fact he burned some bridges in appointing her over several more qualified candidates who brought their own voter support with them for the upcoming election. Georgians were confused by her appointment to that seat previously held by Johnny Isakson.
Instead the left double-crossed him and took both seats, leaving Loefler and Kemp both shocked at the result. There was nothing he could do since he was culpable of election shenanigans. They probably also dangled the 2024 GOP Presidential nomination in front of him to get him to participate. They were willing to promise and do anything to get rid of Trump.
The Conservative Treehouse thinks the GOPe has given up on DeSantis, and will switch to Kemp rather than Youngkin.
The Left gave Kemp his seat because, they solidified two Democrats in the Senate. One with a Christian pastor that supports abortion and the other with a guy who’s never had a real job. He was a staffer for Hank Johnson, of Guam fame, and his parents are Dem donors and recognized names in the Georgia Dem party.
If you look at the big ticket issues...tax breaks for companies and industries...Kemp and Abrams are in complete agreement. Hollywood financially and publicly supported Abrams. Kemp still gives them $1.5billion a year in tax breaks and went into spasms when one state Senator dared submit legislation to lower it to a mere $900mil. ****on a side note, hopefully the strike will destroy the industry, shut down the studios they have in Georgia and force all the liberals that migrated to Georgia for the work, to move back to where they came from.
Kemp is selling out the state to an EV company, the deal being made 100% in secret and one that no one wants. Kemp grew up in the area that this project is being built. He knows the land owner that sold the family farm for between $22-35million. Absolutely ZERO infrastructure to support such a project as the location is rural and there were already locations, near Savannah, that does have the infrastructure that were ignored to make the deal in the current location. The local folks have sued over a tax break that Kemp gave, ordering the county to give up over $700million in county property taxes. And the state has fought the people in court.

Company is promising 7500 jobs to make its cars. Kia, down 85South, makes over 300k a year with 2700 employees. Someone is lying. But who cares? Kemp doesn’t, it isn’t his money he’s giving away.
And Kemp is giving an electric plane company money as well.

And I haven’t even mentioned the Rowen project.
