If Governor Kemp (R-GA) has any thoughts about a promotion in 2024, he may want to consider being a little more forward than this:
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) “pushed back on exhortations by President Trump, suggesting that the president was asking him to interfere in the Nov. 3 election in a way prohibited by state law,” the Washington Post reports.
Said a Kemp spokesman: “Georgia law prohibits the Governor from interfering in elections. The Secretary of State, who is an elected Constitutional officer, has oversight over elections that cannot be overridden by executive order.” [Taegan Goddard’s Political Wire]
My suggestion is that Governor Kemp issue the following statement:
President Trump is no longer welcome in the State of Georgia, and, if he should attempt to land and stir up more trouble, Georgia State Troopers are instructed to arrest him for conspiracy, name conspiracy to interfere in an official election.
Maybe not legal, but certainly would announce that Governor Kemp is not someone with whom to trifle.
