<h2><strong>Trump vs Kemp</strong></h2>

<p>This is reportedly the second time in less than a week that Kemp has taken on Trump on X.

<p>The controversial phone call to Raffensperger from January 2021, during which Trump urged officials to "find" enough votes to overturn Joe Biden's victory, is believed to have played a role in Monday's indictment of Trump on charges including forgery and racketeering.</p>
