Trump screamed at Kemp about election on a call the day after Kemp’s daughter’s boyfriend had been killed in a car accident

The Washington Post has an in-depth piece about the shitty relationship between Trump and Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, this part sticks out: “At the start of the contentious phone call, Trump asked Kemp how he was doing, according to someone briefed on the exchange. Kemp was in the midst of a family tragedy after Harrison Deal, a family friend and Loeffler aide, had died in a car crash the previous day. He replied, ‘It’s been a rough 24 hours.’ The president then incorrectly surmised that Kemp’s low mood must be because of recent poll numbers showing the governor’s approval rating slipping. No, we lost a close family friend yesterday, Kemp replied, this person said. Trump then offered his condolences.”

“In the call, Trump demanded that the governor call a special session of the legislature and pressure lawmakers to change state law to allow them to assign Republican electors and reverse the outcome. He also demanded an audit of ballot signatures, which he has claimed without evidence, were not properly matched against signatures on file. Kemp explained that, for numerous legal reasons, he could not do either of those things. Kemp’s office declined to comment on the exchange, but numerous people with knowledge of the call said the conversation was openly hostile, with Trump effectively threatening the governor and arguing that Kemp would lose reelection if he didn’t cede to the president’s demands. ‘It was nasty enough for Kemp to say no to all of the asks,’ said one Republican strategist. ‘I don’t know if you’ve ever talked to Kemp, but he’s politically kind of squishy. He never says yes or no to something. He’ll say something cute and funny, and he pushes it off, but it’s never like a flat ‘No.’ He told the president, ‘No’ – twice'”.
