The top two Republicans running for governor in Georgia launched the first of three debates by bickering over who was responsible for 2020 and 2021 GOP election losses.
“I was Secretary of State for eight years,” Kemp said, “and I don’t need to be lectured by someone that lost their last election about what our voting laws are and who has responsibilities for those in our state.”
“You have a candidate that is going to attack my record, unfortunately, all night tonight, because they didn’t have a record there to beat Jon Ossoff in 2020,” Kemp said. The incumbent sought to highlight his record, including raising teacher and state employee pay, cutting taxes and quickly lifting restrictions after Georgia’s brief COVID-19 lockdown. Kemp said that’s a better way to defeat Democrat Stacey Abrams than endless litigation of past elections.
“I think the debate needs to continue,” Kemp said “I’m going to continue to keep my powder dry. Let this movement come forward or not. That’s a decision that the legislature is going to make.”
