Trump Buries Hatchet With Republican Governor In Swing State

 Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump buried the hatchet with Georgia Governor Brian Kemp (R) this week after the two have repeatedly clashed at various points over the last few years.

“We got to win. We got to win from the top of the ticket on down,” Kemp told Fox News host Sean Hannity this week. “I’ve been saying consistently for a long time, we cannot afford another four years of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris. And I think, you know, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz would be even worse. So we need to send Donald Trump back to the White House. We need to retake the Senate. We need to hold the House. We need to hold our legislative majorities that we have in the great state of Georgia, and it takes hard work, that’s what we’ve been doing.”

Kemp said that his political operation has been hard at work in the ground game for nearly two months knocking on doors and focusing on getting high voter turnout.

“I just want to urge everybody out there, we cannot take this for granted,” he said. “We have got to get the vote out. We gotta stay focused. We gotta stay focused on the future. We need to do like you just did … continue to hammer Kamala Harris’ record and the record of Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and the other people that have been really for 12 of the last 16 years, punishing the American people.”

 

“I know the Democrats have been talking about joy at the convention all week, and I feel like the joy is subsiding, and when the sugar high of the convention subsides, people are going to really start thinking, ‘It’s not so joyful when I look at my bank account; it’s not joyful when I can’t make my car payment or my rent payment, or I have to decide whether I’m going to buy gas or buy groceries,'” he continued. “People have not forgotten the disaster at the border and the millions and millions of illegal people that are in our country that are getting better benefits than some of our hard-working Georgians and hardworking Americans out there.”

Trump responded to Kemp’s remarks by posting on X: “Thank you to @BrianKempGA for all of your help and support 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!”
