Donald Trump faces backlash for remarks about Georgia governor
SUMMARY: Governor Donald Trump criticized Republican Brian Kemp for nearly six minutes, despite Kemp’s strong bipartisan approval in Georgia following two election wins. Trump labeled Kemp as detrimental to the Republican Party, particularly for not calling a special session to overturn the 2020 election results. Former Republican state senator PK Martin and state representative Lauren Daniel expressed that attacking a popular leader like Kemp is a poor strategy for winning swing states. Online commenters echoed this sentiment, highlighting Trump’s claims as out-of-touch, suggesting that even the average voter recognizes the imprudence of his remarks.
