Georgia GOP convention to briefly be ‘center’ of Republican universe
Brian Kemp and other GOP incumbents have left enduring fissures among state Republicans
The Georgia GOP convention in Columbus next week is now set to be a pivotal presidential pitstop, with Republican hopefuls including former President Donald Trump, former Vice President Mike Pence, Asa Hutchinson, Vivek Ramaswamy, Nikki Haley, and potentially Ron DeSantis all in attendance. Trump’s return to Georgia, the backdrop of several of his most stinging electoral rebukes, will be his first campaign event since the launch of his comeback bid. Gov. Brian Kemp and other GOP incumbents are trying to direct the party away from the former president, but the convention’s sudden popularity among presidential aspirants has made it harder to do so. #GeorgiaGOP #DonaldTrump #MikePence #BrianKemp #RonDeSantis
