Brian Kemp
Governor (Term-Limited)
GA Governor
Brian Kemp is Georgia's two-term Republican governor and a central figure in the post-2020 tensions within the Republican Party. He refused Donald Trump's pressure to overturn Georgia's 2020 election results, leading to a bitter feud. Trump endorsed a primary challenger in 2022, but Kemp won the primary by 50 points and the general election by 7.5 points. He is term-limited in 2026, leaving a competitive open race for Georgia governor. Kemp is considered a leading voice in a pragmatic, election-winning conservatism.
