Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance recently revealed that he had a brief conversation with Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, who has pledged his full support for the Trump-Vance ticket. Despite past disagreements with former President Donald Trump over the aftermath of the 2020 election, Kemp is reportedly backing the current Republican candidates.
Vance emphasized his confidence in Kemp's endorsement, stating, 'I 100 percent guarantee you that Brian Kemp is behind this ticket. He wants us to win because he believes the policies of Kamala Harris are disastrous for this country.'
Expressing gratitude for the governor's support, Vance welcomed all individuals who advocate for common sense to join the 'Trump train.'
It was noted that Kemp had refrained from voting for Trump in the Republican primary earlier this year. However, he clarified that he would support the Republican presidential ticket, indicating his alignment with the party's values.
On a contrasting note, former Georgia Republican Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan made an appearance at the Democratic National Convention, where he urged Republicans and independent voters to 'Dump Trump.' Duncan's stance reflects a divergence within the Republican ranks regarding their support for the former president.
The dynamics within the Republican Party in Georgia highlight the varying perspectives and allegiances among key figures as the 2022 elections draw closer. The interactions between Kemp, Vance, and other prominent Republicans underscore the complexities of political alliances and the diverse viewpoints present within the party.
