Trump, Gov. Kemp Appear Together 1st Time Since 2020

By    |   Friday, 04 October 2024 06:44 PM EDT

Donald Trump and Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp appeared together Friday for the first time since the former president sought to overturn Georgia's 2020 presidential election results, as the pair surveyed damage caused by Hurricane Helene.

Trump during the visit thanked Kemp and said he's doing a very good job managing the fallout from the storm.

When asked whether he had concerns about voting in the state, Trump responded: "I'm worried about the people, not the vote. I'm worried about the people, a lot of people missing. It's a bad one. This was a bad one, bad storm, maybe the worst."

Kemp and Trump were at odds over the aftermath of the 2020 election, but Kemp has since endorsed the GOP presidential ticket.

Their appearance together comes days after Kemp publicly disputed Trump's false assertions that President Joe Biden and his White House were not helping Georgia and other Republican-run states affected by the storm. Kemp told reporters that Biden had called him personally and offered whatever assistance Georgia might need.

At least 223 people have died, and hundreds are unaccounted for in the destruction wrought by Helene since it made landfall in Florida on Sept. 26.
