    I didn’t vote for anybody. I voted, but I didn’t vote for anybody,” Kemp told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on “The Source” the day before the historic presidential debate in his home state.”I mean, the race was already over when the primary got here,” he continued, later adding, “I always try to go vote and, you know, play a part in it, but look at that point, it didn’t really matter.”

    Doublespeak. That is the only way this word salad makes any sense.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Brian Kemp revealed Wednesday that he didn’t vote for former President Donald Trump in the state’s GOP primary in March.

    “I was thinking about it but, you know, just because a lot of circumstances and the way things played out, didn’t end up doing that, but said all along for the most part that I would support the ticket, and that’s what I’ve always done and that’s what I’m doing this November.”

    Kemp had previously told reporters in March that he would support the GOP’s nominee in the general election, though he did not specify at the time whether he voted for Trump in the Republican primary.

    He urged the former president, with whom he has a contentious past, to focus on the future – and not risk swing voters’ support – when he takes the podium in Atlanta.

    Kemp has clashed with the former president after he refused to call a special legislative session to help Trump as he sought overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia.

    While he said he hasn’t spoken with Trump directly and said there’s been no outreach from his campaign, Kemp suggested he could overlook the pair’s contentious history to advance Republican causes.
