The Georgia Republican unscathed by Walker's defeat.
Donald TrumpGov. Brian Kemp of Georgia is welcomed to a re-election campaign event in Marietta, Ga., on Nov. 3, 2022.
Kemp has helped create a template for Republicans, showing them how to use Trump’s attacks to strengthen an independent political brand and not sacrifice support from the former president’s loyal base. His navigation of the Republican Party’s crosscurrents, along with an election performance that saw him outperform Trump in crucial suburban swing districts, has raised his national profile and heightened speculation about his future ambitions and a potential run for president in 2024.
“His success now really is a result of all these touches over the years — that ‘How’s your mama? How’s your daddy?’ kind of thing,” said state Sen. Jen Jordan, a Democrat and vocal Kemp critic. Such a face-to-face style might work locally and statewide, Jordan said, but would not translate beyond that. “Is that something you can do at the national level, like running for president?” she added.
Kemp turned over elements of his campaign machine, including more than 200 paid staffers, to the Senate Leadership Fund, a political action committee aligned with Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell that put them to work for Walker. During the runoff, Kemp cut one TV ad for the Senate Leadership Fund and appeared at one pro-Walker rally and one fundraiser.
