I’d say Kemp is going to have a difficult position of running his Senate campaign.
If he challenged Raphael Warnock back in 2022, he’d have a higher probability of winning. Nowadays, Kemp runs the risk of becoming the next David Perdue if he’s not careful. He won re-election as Governor back in 2022 in part because he was seen as more sane compared to Trump back then.

If he wants the POTUS track, he comes from a much stronger position as an ex-Governor in 28 when Trump will likely be at W Bush 2008 levels of popularity than a sitting Senatot forced to take a lot of unpopular votes.

He might legitimately like running for office and not really care if he wins or loses, this is probably his last chance.

You're right, that's probably his best angle. Chris Sununu might have something to say about that, though.
The 2028 Republican primary will be interesting. There hasn't been a seriously contested one since 2016 and the radicals are the establishment now.
“The radicals are the establishment now”. Damn, that statement is going to haunt me. The 2028 GOP primary is gonna be fun/horrifying to watch!
