.GovChristie to stump with Kemp next week in opposition to Trump-backed primary challenge
. But Kemp earned Trump’s ire starting in late 2020, after the governor certified President Biden's narrow victory in Georgia in the presidential election following multiple recounts of the vote. Trump, who had unsuccessfully urged the governor and other top Republican officials in the state to overturn the results, has now returned to Georgia twice to campaign against Kemp.
Trump for months urged to challenge the governor, and late last year he endorsed Perdue a day after the former senator launched his bid. Perdue declared his candidacy a few days after Abrams, an election reform champion and rising star in the Democratic Party, launched her second straight bid for governor.
Soon after that news broke, Trump took aim, claiming in a statement that"Today, the worst ‘election integrity’ Governor in the country, Brian Kemp, loaded the great state of Georgia up with RINOs." Christie, a one-time close Trump friend and adviser who’s become a vocal GOP critic of the former president, responded on Twitter, writing"Insightful commentary about three Republican Governors who were overwhelmingly re-elected by their people from a former President who lost to Joe Biden. Maybe the ‘R’ in RINO really stands for re-elected."The 2022 intra-party squabble could be an appetizer for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination race.
