Chip in today to elect Dem govs >>
Democratic governors are leading in the fight against Donald Trump. With our two historic victories in Virginia and New Jersey, grassroots momentum is on our side! But next year, nearly 80% of the country is voting for a governor – and with Republicans already investing to beat Dem govs, early support has never been so critical. Will you donate to elect more Democratic governors who will defend our rights and freedoms and stand up to Trump?
After Calling It ‘A Slap in the Face,’ Brian Kemp Tries to Take Credit for the American Rescue Plan’s Positive Impact on Georgians
In another sign of GOP division, the RGA has been forced to make a historic $500,000 TV ad buy to protect Gov. Brian Kemp in the Georgia GOP primary after Donald Trump endorsed challenger David Perdue and even appeared in a TV ad to criticize Kemp.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that it’s the first time the RGA has ever had to spend money on ads to support an incumbent in a primary.
“This unprecedented move sets up a proxy war between the RGA and former President Trump, who backs David Perdue in the GOP primary,” wrote AJC reporter Greg Bluestein.
Previously, Kemp released a brutal tv ad to attack Perdue for his long record of shipping Georgia jobs overseas. The race has already been labeled a “scorched earth” primary and “the ugliest, nastiest race this state has ever seen,” and these new air wars are sure to escalate division within the party.
“The RGA is now all-in on fighting with Donald Trump in Georgia – and there’s no going back,” said DGA Deputy Communications Director Sam Newton. “Instead of fighting for Georgians, Brian Kemp and David Perdue are making history by fighting with each other. Regardless of who survives this brutal primary, the eventual nominee will be tied to out-of-touch positions and stuck with a party divided beyond repair.”
