Kemp’s Georgia Gamble Tests His Political Reach
TL;DR

Brian Kemp’s influence is put to the test in Tuesday’s runoffs: he backed Derek Dooley in the U.S. Senate race while Trump endorsed Mike Collins, and Kemp separately endorsed Burt Jones for governor as spending from Rick Jackson reshapes the contest. The outcomes will gauge whether Kemp can steer Georgia Republicans toward a broad, win-ready coalition that could matter for his 2028 ambitions, or whether Trump’s MAGA influence prevails in the state.
