Kemp says electability drove his decision to back Jones in Georgia’s GOP race for governor

Governor Brian Kemp endorsed Lt. Gov. Burt Jones in Georgia’s Republican primary runoff for governor, citing electability as the key factor. Kemp also campaigned for former football coach Derek Dooley in the U.S. Senate race, but his Senate candidate faced a setback after President Donald Trump endorsed Mike Collins. Jones, the Trump-backed candidate, faces Rick Jackson in the governor’s race, while Kemp highlighted policy contrasts between Jones and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Keisha Lance Bottoms.
