Gov. Brian Kemp’s blunt warning for Republicans | On The Road

In this episode of 'On The Road' with Jonathan Martin, host Jonathan Martin interviews Georgia Governor Brian Kemp at the Masters Tournament in Augusta, Georgia. The conversation covers Kemp's political career, his record as governor, and his strategic focus on the 2026 midterm elections. Kemp emphasizes the importance of a 'big tent' Republican Party, rejecting the idea of a party centered solely on one individual, and stresses unity and pragmatism. He reflects on his 2022 primary challenge from David Perdue, which he won by 52 points, and discusses his relationship with Donald Trump—acknowledging the tension but affirming a commitment to party unity. Kemp also defends his conservative record, including tax cuts, tort reform, and abortion legislation, while advocating for political outsiders like Derek Dooley in the Senate race. He downplays speculation about a 2028 presidential run, insisting his focus remains on Georgia’s 2026 elections. The discussion touches on policy issues including EVs, energy markets, and the federal investigation into 2020 ballots in Fulton County, with Kemp expressing confidence in Georgia’s democratic integrity. The episode closes with a lighthearted exchange on college football and Kemp’s optimism for Georgia’s future in the SEC.
