“Today the Kemp for Governor campaign announced that former Vice President Mike Pence will rally with Governor Brian Kemp on Monday, May 23rd, to get out the vote for the May 24th Republican primary. ‘Brian Kemp is one of the most successful conservative governors in America,’ said Vice President Pence. ‘He built a safer and stronger Georgia by cutting taxes, empowering parents and investing in teachers, funding law enforcement, and standing strong for the right to life. Brian Kemp is my friend, a man dedicated to faith, family and the people of Georgia. I am proud to offer my full support for four more years of Brian Kemp as governor of the great state of Georgia!'”

“‘Marty, the girls, and I [Are Kemp’s daughters really that excited to meet Mike Pence?] are incredibly honored to have the support of Vice President Pence as we build on our campaign’s strong momentum through Election Day on May 24th,’ said Governor Kemp. ‘The Vice President’s leadership was instrumental in creating the most prosperous economy in American history, including here in Georgia, and his commitment to building a safer, stronger America represents the highest ideals of our party. We could not be more grateful for his friendship to our family and state, and we look forward to welcoming him back to the campaign trail in Georgia!'” says the press release from the Kemp campaign, ecstatic over the guy Trump fans tried to hang opportunistically using him in an intra-party proxy war against the Donald when the deal is pretty much already sealed and Kemp very likely to survive Trump-backed loser David Perdue’s primary challenge.
