Chip in today to elect Dem govs across the country >>
Democratic governors are leading the fight against Donald Trump and his administration – and they need your help. Trump and his allies have hundreds of millions of dollars to attack our candidates, and we have to make sure we’ve got the resources to fight back. With 36 races on the map this November, 80% of Americans will cast their vote for their next governor. We need to invest NOW to expand our map, win in battleground states, protect our blue firewall of Dem govs, and flip critical states from red to blue. Can Dem govs count on you to chip in right now?
After a Nasty GOP Primary, Brian Kemp’s Problems With His Own Party Aren’t Going Away Anytime Soon
Brian Kemp scraped by a nasty GOP primary, but many Georgia Republicans have already said they’d rather sit out the general election than vote for him.
“So many Republicans are just not going to vote for Kemp,” Donald Trump warned during a tele-rally earlier this month.
“I don’t think I can vote for Brian Kemp,” one Republican voter told Business Insider. An 81-year-old Georgian who’s voted Republican since 1964 said, “I wouldn’t vote for [Kemp or Raffensperger.] They’re not Republicans. They’re liars.” And a 70-year-old Republican agreed, “I will not vote for Gov. Kemp.”
On top of the impossible task of unifying a deeply divided base, Kemp will also have to defend his harmful record of passing extreme abortion restrictions, making it easier for criminals to carry guns, and blocking health care expansion.
Meanwhile, Stacey Abrams is running with a unified base behind her and a plan to improve life for working families by investing in small businesses and rural development, expanding Medicaid, and fully funding public schools.
“The primary may be over, but Brian Kemp is still the most vulnerable governor in the country with his own Republican party refusing to get behind him and a harmful record of making life worse and more dangerous for Georgians,” said DGA Deputy Communications Director Sam Newton.
