<p>Georgia Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/brian-kemp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brian Kemp</a> responded to attacks from former President Donald Trump over the weekend, encouraging Trump to stop attacking fellow Republicans and focus on beating Vice President Kamala Harris.</p>
<p>Trump launched a series of attacks against Georgia Republican officials on Saturday for matters related to the 2020 presidential election. Trump specifically targeted Kemp, his record as governor, and his wife, Marty Kemp.</p>
<p>Kemp responded to Trump&#8217;s attack on X.</p>
<p>&#8220;My focus is on winning this November and saving our country from Kamala Harris and the Democrats &#8211; not engaging in petty personal insults, attacking fellow Republicans, or dwelling on the past.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;You should do the same, Mr. President, and leave my family out of it,&#8221; he added.</p>

<p>Kemp has endorsed Trump&#8217;s current presidential campaign, <a href="https://www.ajc.com/politics/kemp-backs-trump-hed-be-better-than-joe-biden/2HOWX5XPFVBT7FHYI6YKHCU7KA/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">saying</a> that he will vote for the former president because &#8220;he’d be better than Joe Biden. It’s as simple as that.&#8221;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not clear what set off Trump&#8217;s most recent round of attacks on Kemp. Kemp did not attend Trump&#8217;s rally in Atlanta on Saturday due to a prior commitment, according to <a href="https://www.11alive.com/article/news/politics/atlanta-trump-rally-preview-jd-vance-brian-kemp-geoff-duncan/85-76168ee0-1069-461d-be50-45700d9dca95" target="_blank" rel="noopener">local media</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Brian Kemp should focus his efforts on fighting Crime, not fighting Unity and the Republican Party!&#8221; Trump posted on social media. &#8220;His Crime Rate in Georgia is terrible, his Crime Rate in Atlanta is the worst, and his Economy is average.&#8221;</p>
<p>While Atlanta&#8217;s crime rate is <a href="https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/ga/atlanta/crime" target="_blank" rel="noopener">high</a>, Georgia&#8217;s overall crime rate <a href="https://www.forbes.com/advisor/legal/criminal-defense/crime-rate-by-state/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ranked</a> near the middle of the pack when compared to all other states. The state&#8217;s economy is <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/07/18/americas-10-best-state-economies.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ranked</a> as one of the best in the nation.</p>
<p>&#8220;He should be seeking UNITY, not Retribution, especially against the man that got him the Nomination through Endorsement and, without whom, he could never have beaten Stacey Abrams,&#8221; Trump said.</p>

<p>Trump did <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/20/us/politics/trump-endorsement-kemp.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">help</a> Kemp secure the nomination in 2018, and Kemp went on to <a href="https://www.politico.com/election-results/2018/georgia/governor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">beat</a> Democrat gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams by 1.4 percent, or roughly 55,000 votes. In 2022, Kemp faced a primary challenge during his re-election campaign against <a href="https://georgiarecorder.com/2022/05/24/kemp-easily-bests-trump-endorsed-former-sen-david-perdue-for-gop-governor-nod/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Trump-endorsed</a> candidate David Perdue and <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/05/24/us/elections/results-georgia-governor.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">won</a> by 51.9 percent, or 623,900 votes. Kemp faced Abrams again in a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/11/08/us/elections/results-georgia-governor.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rematch</a> that year and won by 7.5 percent, or 297,899 votes.</p>
<p>&#8220;He and his wife didn’t think he could win,&#8221; Trump continued. &#8220;I said, &#8216;I’m telling you you’re going to win.&#8217; Then he won, he was happy, and his wife said, &#8216;Thank you, Sir, we’ll never be able to make it up to you!&#8217; Now she says she won’t Endorse me, and is going to &#8216;write in Brian Kemp’s name.&#8217; Well, I don’t want her Endorsement, and I don’t want his.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump then appeared to blame the Kemps for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis&#8217; criminal prosecution of Trump and several others in Trump&#8217;s orbit for their alleged actions surrounding the 2020 presidential election and said that Kemp was &#8220;a bad guy.&#8221;</p>
