Does Governor Brian Kemp really want to be "promoted" to being a Trump acolyte in the Senate, just another Yes vote in a Republican caucus that is wholly owned by The Mad King? Perhaps not. Fingers (and toes) crossed that Kemp finds something better to do with his time.

Fingers and toes crossed that Georgians get over their quarter century allergy of electing Democrats as Governor.

There was a section on the DB not long ago about people not running for Senate and then President two years later. If Kemp has his eye on 2028, then 2026 might not be in his plans. And being a Senate minion of Trump seems like a bad move if he wants to maintain a little of the non cult cred he has

Yeah given the current dynamics I can't possibly see why Kemp would want to go from Governor of a fast growing, economically powerful state to just another Senator.

I have no idea how Kemp could think he could make it through a Republican primary for President, already having pissed off Trump once and then primarying his VP, Vance.

I think Kemp goes for Senate.

No-one knows what the dynamics will be in 3+ years. Certainly not a given the Republican base will just go all-in on Vance.

As a Georgian it feels he wants to run for president 2028 and if thatтАЩs the case you donтАЩt run in 2026 for senate.

He can always drop down to face Warnock if his Prez run falters after all
