No politician is more despised by Donald Trump than Georgia’s Republican governor, Brian Kemp, who refused the president’s call to overturn the state’s presidential election results in 2020, which barely favored Joe Biden to win the White House.

Trump has endorsed more than 150 candidates in this year’s congressional elections in the United States, hoping to cement his hold on the Republican Party and oust any opponents.

Kemp, on the other hand, appears to be on track to hand Trump his harshest rebuke of the midterm elections so far in Tuesday’s Georgia primary for governor. In polls and funding, the governor has a significant advantage over Trump’s hand-picked Republican candidate, former U.S. Senator David Perdue.

Kemp is polling well above the 50% level needed to win the nomination outright and avoid a runoff in June, with Perdue trailing far behind.

Kemp’s success thus far, despite Trump’s relentless barrage of insults, could serve as a model for other Republicans looking to move past Trump’s divisive obsession with the outcome of the 2020 election without alienating his still-powerful base.

Eric Tanenblatt, a prominent Republican strategist, said, “I don’t know if there’s another politician in America that has been harangued by the former president like Brian Kemp.” “With his triumph, Republicans will perhaps take a step back and realize that they don’t have to be so frightened.”

Kemp has struck a careful balance on election integrity since his split with Trump, which has become a rallying point for Republicans in the wake of Trump’s false claims that voter fraud cost him the election.
