Trump has Georgia revenge on his mind as he returns to campaign ...

SectionsTVFeaturedMore from NBC Follow NBC News Former President Donald Trump is on a revenge mission in Georgia.After top Republicans refused to rig the state’s 2020 vote in his favor, he’s already inspired one primary challenge to Gov. Brian Kemp, and he’s endorsed another against Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. When people at GOP events press him on his refusal to overturn Trump’s loss, Kemp responds by “telling the truth,” reminding them that he followed the law and emphasizing his conservative accomplishments, said a Republican close to the governor’s team who requested anonymity to discuss a politically fraught subject.Pearson questioned Kemp’s viability without Trump behind him.“We've seen that Brian Kemp can run well with the president's support,” Pearson said, referring to Trump’s 2018 endorsement. He described the primaries against Kemp and Raffensperger as “selfish” and “solely based on wanting to pacify a former president sitting in his resort down in Mar-a-Lago.”John Watson, a Kemp ally and former state party chair, wonders how Trump’s grudge match will end.“For Republicans nationally and in Georgia, if the agenda is forward looking through the windshield, I believe we win,” Watson said.
