ATLANTA — When Gov. Brian Kemp is asked how he handles Donald Trump's unrelenting fury, he typically launches into the well-practiced answer he offered at a recent stop in Atlanta's exurbs: "I've never said a bad word about their administration. And I don't plan on doing that."
But the constant questions about Trump's obsession with defeating Kemp underscore a painful reality for a Republican on the cusp of a defining political victory.
Even as polls show Kemp is poised to rout former U.S. Sen. David Perdue in Tuesday's primary, the governor must still face the wrath of the former president throughout what's expected to be a bruising November matchup against Democrat Stacey Abrams.
