GA-Sen, Punchbowl News did a great break down of how Ossoff and Kemp are approaching Trump in potential campaigns. This part though emphasizes what I've been talking about the dilemma Kemp faces if he were to jump in:
If Kemp jumps in the race, questions will only intensify about whether he approves of Trump’s actions. To win, Kemp — who can’t run for governor in 2026 due to term limits — will need to unite a coalition of Trump supporters and moderate Republicans. Kemp’s team didn’t respond to requests for comment.
I think we all know that "moderate Republicans" just means Never Trump Republicans these days. Punchbowl does highlight how Trump and Kemp have made up but Kemp's strategy is to just stay silent about Trump and how DOGE has really been hurting Georgia while Ossoff highlights the damage he's doing. Now Kemp might be staying quiet now because he hasn't made a decision on what he's going to do but it highlights how he risks losing that crossover appeal that helped him secure a second term.
