Former Vice President Mike Pence is planning to travel to Georgia to campaign for incumbent Governor Brian Kemp before that state’s primary, his latest public break with former President Donald Trump, who is backing Kemp’s opponent David Perdue.
Pence is scheduled to campaign alongside Kemp in Atlanta on May 23, a day before the primary. Trump recruited Perdue, a former US senator, to challenge Kemp for refusing to overturn his 2020 electoral loss to President Joe Biden in Georgia.
