Kemp Sea Island retreat with GOP donors positioning himself “should DeSantis stumble”.

Kemp gathered donors this week for a three-day retreat on Sea Island, Georgia, to plan for the 2024 campaign with a focus on the specific role of Georgia, a vital state for Republicans if they have any hope of winning the White House. According to a source familiar with the retreat, the event raised $1.2 million for Kemp’s committees.
The retreat comes as former President Donald Trump leads in the polls among 2024 GOP presidential candidates, with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in second — but trailing — as he prepares to announce his campaign.
Kemp’s activities around 2024 raise his national profile and position him to be part of the mix for a gubernatorial alternative for president should DeSantis stumble. At the least, it positions him for a possible Senate run in 2026, since he will be barred from running for governor again because of state term limits.
Kemp’s private retreat featured a long list of Republican operatives and leaders who gave presentations on a wide range of topics connected to the next election. Speakers included former House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio; Karl Rove, former senior adviser to President George W. Bush; and former Sen. Kelly Loeffler of Georgia.
During his remarks to the group, Kemp outlined what he believes the eventual GOP nominee must focus on for the party to be successful in 2024.
“First, we have to tell voters what we’re for. Second, focus on the future. And third, we have to be able to win a general election. Because we can’t score points if we don’t have the ball,” Kemp said, according to the source familiar with the retreat.

Dude has zero chance and his state is a shithole mess.

This is the equivalent of Benedict Arnold pushing himself as a candidate should Adams or Washington drop the ball in 1789.

Establishment doesn’t want DeSantis anymore after realizing he can’t be controlled

Kemp making deals with the ccp before the 2020 election. There's no doubt he would win Georgia he made sure of that. Very doubtful he would stand a chance anywhere else so he can push that junk all he wants.

Kemp signed the Heartbeat Law. He did it before Dobbs, Dobbs made it legal.
Kemp signed constitutional carry.
Kemp signed the anti-ballot harvesting law (Jim Eagle) and got the MLB All Star Game pulled from Georgia.
He did these three things before the 2022 midterm.
And still beat Fat Stacy by 10 points among the metro Karens.
Can't count him out.

Kemp wouldn't even win Georgia in the primary.

Very, very possible that Kemp ends up as DeSantis' running mate should DeSantis win the nomination.
The GOPe will play a prominent role in DeSantis' decisions. Not because he is GOPe or they own him, but because they view him as a project; someone they think they can work with but want to keep reins on and leverage over. As Reagan was stuck with GHWB, DeSantis will very likely be stuck with a GOPe stool pigeon.
Kemp undoubtedly has a future in DC. The GOPe have big plans for him, he is one of their top prospects. McConnell has been establishing a close relationship with him over the past year.

Why did he bring in a bunch of democrats in disguise to speak to Republican donors?
That was rhetorical. We know why.
You know, since I cancelled Faux News in mid-2020, I haven't one time had to listen to Sensei Hannity refer to Karl Marx Rove as "the architect". It's been nice.

They can count on Kemp to move their ball forward (his analogy, not mine). If he slips up, order another carbomb.
