Donald Trump has stoked the flames of his ongoing feud with Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, despite predictions that it could cost him votes in the key battleground state.
During a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, on August 8, Trump was asked if he thought he’d be able to repair the pair’s relationship.
“I don’t know if I can or not. I got him elected. Without me he wouldn’t be governor. I got him elected, he was doing terribly,” he said. “When you get someone elected, they’re supposed to like you.”
He then continued saying that Georgia is a big state to win, claiming he is “leading in Georgia by a lot.”
According to FiveThirtyEight, which analyzes political polls, Trump was leading in Georgia by 0.5 percent as of August 8. In the 2020 election, Joe Biden beat Donald Trump by 0.24 percent.
