Updates: Georgia governor met with Trump in secretive trip over Senate pick #gapol #gasen ajc.com/blog/politics/…
The trip did not go as expected for Kemp, who encountered a president who was said to be frustrated with his decision-making process and blunt about his support for U.S. Rep. Doug Collins and others whom he considered to be safer political picks. #gapol ajc.com/blog/politics/…
The fact that Loeffler accompanied the governor to the White House was rare proof that he favors her in the selection process. Loeffler was a last-minute applicant who had considered a 2014 run for Senate but decided against it. #gapol #gasen ajc.com/blog/politics/…
Loeffler’s degree of support for Trump is under the microscope. Though she didn’t contribute to Trump’s 2016 bid, Loeffler and her husband have given roughly $450k to his re-election efforts since 2017 - including two $100k checks this month. #gapol ajc.com/blog/politics/…
There’s all sorts of buzz today speculating that @GovKemp will reopen the application process and go with an alternative to Collins or Loeffler. I don’t see it, but one high-ranking GOPer said the situation has already gone so awry, why not? #gapol #gasen ajc.com/blog/politics/…
@GovKemp .@seanhannity to @RepDougCollins: “I’d like the governor to appoint you. Because you have turned into a rock star – a Republican with a backbone. You went out there and you released transcripts that no other Congressman would release.” #gapol
