Trump Says Georgia’s Governor Is Hampering His Efforts to Win There
President Donald Trump has once again found himself at odds with a Republican governor, this time in the state of Georgia. Trump has accused Governor Brian Kemp of hampering his efforts to win the crucial battleground state in the upcoming presidential election.
In a series of tweets, Trump lashed out at Kemp, claiming that the governor is not doing enough to combat voter fraud and ensure a fair election in Georgia. Trump specifically criticized Kemp for not taking more aggressive action to verify signatures on absentee ballots, a key issue in the state’s election process.
Trump’s attacks on Kemp come as the president’s campaign is in a fierce battle to secure Georgia’s 16 electoral votes. With polls showing a tight race in the state, Trump is desperate to win over every possible supporter in order to secure a second term in office.
Kemp, for his part, has defended his administration’s handling of the election process in Georgia. In a statement, Kemp’s office said that they are working diligently to ensure a fair and secure election, and that any claims of voter fraud or irregularities are being thoroughly investigated.
The rift between Trump and Kemp is just the latest in a series of clashes between the president and Republican governors. Trump has previously criticized governors in states like Arizona and Michigan for their handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, and has even threatened to withhold federal funding from states that he feels are not supporting his agenda.
As the election draws closer, it remains to be seen how Trump’s feud with Kemp will impact his chances in Georgia. With both candidates making frequent visits to the state and pouring resources into their campaigns, the race for Georgia’s electoral votes is shaping up to be a fierce battle that could determine the outcome of the election.
