Trump's ties with Georgia governor could impact tight race in 2024

Former President Donald Trump campaigned in Georgia, where his relationship with Governor Brian Kemp remains complicated. After a fallout in 2020 over election results, Kemp has not publicly supported Trump at rallies, despite his own popularity and recent gestures of reconciliation. Kemp has focused his campaign on Republican achievements rather than Trump, hosting events that do not mention the former president. He has stated he will support the Republican nominee but has not actively promoted Trump’s candidacy. Voter trust in Kemp could influence the election outcome. Some voters, like Tracey D’Arcy, express concerns about both Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris but feel more confident in Kemp's leadership. The race in Georgia is expected to be close, as it was in 2020.
