The news keeps getting better for former President Donald Trump as he stockpiles endorsements.
In what appeared to be impossible just weeks ago the former president and Republican Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp has buried the hatchet as the governor has given Trump his endorsement.
“We gotta win from the top of the ticket on down,” the governor said to Fox News host Sean Hannity. “I’ve been saying consistently for a long time we cannot afford another four years of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and I think Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are to be even worse. So we need to send Donald Trump back to the White House.”
The former president responded on his TruthSocial account, embracing the governor.
“Thank you to #BrianKempGA for all of your support and help in Georgia, where a win is so important to the success of our Party and, most importantly, our Country. I look forward to working with you, your team, and all of my friends in Georgia to help MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” he said.
He also spoke about the endorsement when he spoke to Fox News host Bret Baier after Vice President Kamala Harris was officially nominated as the Democrat Party’s presidential candidate.
“Two quick things as we wrap up here, Mr. President. Tomorrow, do you expect to be endorsed by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and are you making a specific effort in Georgia to make up, if you will, with the governor of Georgia, Brian Kemp?” the host said.
“Well, I just saw Brian. He’s a very good man. Did you ever hear of a man named Sean Hannity? He was interviewed by Sean Hannity, and he was very nice. He said he wants Trump to win, and he’s going to work with me 100%, and I think we’re going to have a very good relationship with Brian Kemp. That was on just before you people,” the former president said.
It is not the first time, including during their feud, that the Republican Georgia governor said he would support the former president when President Joe Biden was assumed to be the Democratic Party nominee.
The governor, who handily won reelection in a rematch with Democratic nominee Stacey Abrams, was discussing various political agendas in an interview conducted in December of 2023, including the potential government shutdown, mass illegal immigration, and his thoughts on Trump going into the 2024 elections.
The then-president became angry at Kemp, whom he backed in 2018 after the governor refused to overturn election results in his state in 2020, and because he testified under subpoena in Fulton County Fani Willis’ investigation, which led to a grand jury indicting Trump and 18 other co-defendants.
“Despite all of that, despite all of his other trials and tribulations, he would still be a lot better than Biden. And the people serving in the administration would be a lot better than Joe Biden. And it has nothing to do with being a coward. It has everything to do with winning and reversing the ridiculous, obscene positions of Joe Biden and this administration that literally, in a lot of ways, are destroying our country,” Kemp told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
He also told the outlet that he believes Trump will win Georgia in the upcoming election, though he was still critical of Trump for claiming the election results in the Peach State were fraudulent in favoring Biden.
“But I also think he stands a very good chance of losing if he continues to talk about the stolen 2020 election. If he continues, like he’s done in the past, to attack other good Republicans who don’t agree with him 100 percent of the time, there’s a good chance he can lose the election,” Kemp said.
