Had a feeling this is how the political dynamics would play out.
Trump made a lot of enemies in the GA GOP when he first dragged Raffensberger through the mud and then cost GA a senate seat by telling his supporters the special election was rigged. I've said it before - those good ole boys down south never forget a slight. Hell, they're still pissed off at Sherman down there, and that was 170 years ago.
Kemp knows that stepping in now to disqualify Willis would give the Dems a lot of ammunition for turning GA blue in 2024 - I can't see him sticking his neck out for Trump here.
All this GOP-on-GOP conflict is a real shame.
