Politico reports that despite Trump’s call for his supporters to vote for the Republican candidate, he has also continuously attacked Georgia’s Republican Secretary of State and Governor, who in an interview with Fox News called himself “shame” of supporting Georgia Governor Kemp in 2018, and On November 30, local time, he criticized Kemp for “bad luck” and questioned why he did not “reject” state secretary Raffenspegg to prove Biden’s victory after the previous ballot.
In response, former senior Republican delegate for the Senate Intelligence Committee, Chambers, said, “It’s time to end this.” He pointed out that Trump needs to show his support for the two Georgia Republican candidates, rather than “talking about his own game”. Former Georgia Republican Governor Robinson believes that Trump should “sent a strong and forward-looking message” and tells people to “enthusiasticly support” Georgia’s Republican candidate.
