Bristling at his defeat in Georgia, President Donald Trump increasingly believes that Gov. Brian Kemp has not done enough to deliver him a victory or challenge the states election results. Now, sources close to the presidentand Republicans in Georgiasay it is a foregone conclusion that Trump will help stand up a primary challenger to Kemp when the Republican is up for re-election in 2022.
Its a fait accompli, said one veteran Trump political adviser.
According to two people whove discussed Kemp with the president this month, Trump has largely focused on how Kemp would be nothing without him or his endorsement in the 2018 gubernatorial primary. The president has also mentioned that hes looking forward to fundraising and campaigning against Kemp in Georgia, in the likelihood that a GOP primary challenger emerges.
One of the sources said that Trump had privately compared his desire to see Kemps political future ruined to how he wanted to see the political implosion of his former attorney general, Jeff Sessions, during an attempted comeback this year in Alabama.
Kemps office did not respond to a request for comment from The Daily Beast. But not everyone allied with the president thought that challenging the governor would be a good idea.
