Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp Reveals Why He Didn't Vote For Trump In GOP Primary
HuffPost
Trump has repeatedly attacked Kemp for not backing his attempts to overturn the 2020 election.
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) broke down why he “didn’t vote for anybody,” including former President Donald Trump, during his state’s GOP presidential primary back in March.
“I voted, but I didn’t vote for anybody. I mean, the race was already over when the primary got here,” Kemp told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins in an interview that aired a day before Trump is set to debate President Joe Biden on the network.
Kemp, who was referring to former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley dropping out days prior to the state’s contest, has seen his relationship with the presumptive GOP presidential nominee sour since the 2020 election.
Trump, who once gave Kemp a “full and total endorsement” for governor in 2018, would later call him a “fool” and a “clown” for not siding with his effort to overturn the 2020 election results in the state.
He went on to back Kemp’s 2022 primary challenger, former Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.), who lost to the incumbent by over 50 points in the contest that May.
