NBCAPR 2022
Kemp is perhaps Trump's top target in his vengeance campaign against Republicans who didn't bow to his election lies, and Pence's backing of the governor is his boldest and most unambiguous move to confront his former political patron.
Mike Pence was set to lose a Governor's race in 2016 before he was plucked up and his political career was salvaged. Desperate to chase his lost relevance, Pence is parachuting in to races, hoping someone is paying attention. Trump is a clear favorite for the Republican nominee and has proven to still be GOP kingmaker.
