How Trump and Georgia's Republican governor made peace, helped by allies anxious about the election

0
South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham helped broker peace between two longtime foes of the same party: former President Donald Trump and Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp. The Trump-Kemp relationship has been poisoned for years, driven largely by Kemp's refusal to stop the certification of Trump's 2020 loss in the state to Democrat Joe Biden. But a recent meeting between Graham and Kemp at a private fundraiser in Atlanta's Buckhead neighborhood helped set in motion a détente. A true alignment, if it lasts, could benefit both men. Trump needs the help of Kemp's political operation, and Kemp needs the backing of Trump supporters for a future run at the U.S. Senate or the White House.
