The Presidential election will be decided by a handful of swing states across the country.
Everything matters on the margins in a close race.
And one ace in the hole could hand Donald Trump this must-win state.
Brian Kemp’s political machine goes to work for Donald Trump in Georgia
President Joe Biden became the first Democrat since former President Bill Clinton in the 1992 Election to win Georgia.
The margin of Biden’s win in the 2020 Election in Georgia was a razor-thin 11,779 votes.
Georgia Governor Brian Kemp (R) and Trump had a falling out in the aftermath of the state’s hotly contested 2020 Election.
But the conflict between the two men became water under the bridge after the pair united in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene that ravaged Georgia.
”I want to thank President Trump for coming back to our state a second time . . . and keeping the national focus on our state as we recover,” Kemp said at an event with Trump in Evans, Georgia after the storm.
Kemp won two hard-fought elections in 2018 and 2022 for Governor against national media darling Stacey Abrams.
The Georgia Governor built a political machine to turn out voters that helped give him the edge in those two contests.
Now, Kemp’s political machine is going to work to help Trump and other Republican candidates win Georgia.
Las Vegas casino mogul Miriam Adelson, a major Trump donor, gave a $1 million contribution to Kemp’s Hardworking Americans PAC.
Kemp has been traveling the country to raise money for the PAC.
Hardworking Americans PAC is targeting voters in Georgia with text messages, digital ads, and direct mail with messages from Kemp blasting Vice President Kamala Harris on her failed record on border security and the economy.
“Your vote in this election can stop this insanity and save America,” Kemp said in one ad.
He has an approval rating of over 60%, making him one of the most popular Governors in the country and an effective messenger to Georgia voters.
Trump could have an edge in Georgia from Kemp’s machine
Adelson’s money is going to help get out the vote efforts through Kemp’s PAC.
The Trump campaign is leaning on outside groups to run its get out the vote operations after a change in federal election law allowed for closer cooperation.
Driving Republican turnout could make all the difference in a state that could once again come down to the wire on Election Day.
The Faith and Freedom Coalition – an evangelical Christian group – and Greater Georgia founded by former U.S. Senator Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) are also working on get out the vote operations in the state.
The RealClearPolitics polling average of Georgia has Trump by a slim .9% margin.
Kemp’s group has experience in finding Georgia Republican voters and making sure they turn out.
A unified Republican Party in Georgia with everyone rowing in the same direction could flip the state red this November.
