Georgia GOP Gov. Brian Kemp reveals he didn’t vote for Trump in GOP primary

Georgia Republican Gov. Brian revealed Wednesday that he didn’t vote for former President Donald Trump, his party’s presumptive nominee, in the state’s GOP primary.

Georgia Republican Gov. Brian Kemp revealed Wednesday that he didn’t vote for former President Donald Trump in the state’s GOP primary in March. “I didn’t vote for anybody. I voted, but I didn’t vote for anybody,” Kemp told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on “The Source” the day before the historic presidential debate in his home state.”I mean, the race was already over when the primary got here,” he continued, later adding, “I always try to go vote and, you know, play a part in it, but look at that point, it didn’t really matter.” Despite not voting for Trump in the primary, Kemp has maintained that he’ll “support the ticket” in November when Trump is set to face the presumptive Democratic nominee President Joe Biden. “He was the presumptive nominee before the primary ever got here. I mean, I didn’t support anybody in the race,” Kemp told Collins of Trump. “I was thinking about it but, you know, just because a lot of circumstances and the way things played out, didn’t end up doing that, but said all along for the most part that I would support the ticket, and that’s what I’ve always done and that’s what I’m doing this November.” Kemp had previously told reporters in March that he would support the GOP’s nominee in the general election, though he did not specify at the time whether he voted for Trump in the Republican primary. The governor’s comments came on the eve of the first presidential debate, hosted by CNN, between Trump and Biden. He urged the former president, with whom he has a contentious past, to focus on the future – and not risk swing voters’ support – when he takes the podium in Atlanta.
