Georgia Gov. Kemp charges Democrats trying to ‘cancel conservatives’ as he launches reelection bid

GOP Gov. Brian Kemp of Georgia on Saturday urged Republicans to remain engaged as he warned of Democrats' efforts to "cancel" conservatives

Georgia was long a reliably red state. But now-President Biden narrowly edged then-President Trump in Georgia in November, becoming the first Democrat to win the state in a presidential election in more than a quarter-century. And two months later, the Democrats swept the state’s twin Senate runoff contests, giving them the majority in the chamber. Kemp, working to shore up his base, closed his speech by arguing that the Democrats have overplayed their hand in Georgia. "Make no mistake. They’re going to continue to cancel conservatives across the country," he said. "They are trying to go after anyone in the country that doesn’t share their values."
