Gov. Kemp rules out 2024 presidential run for now, calls on GOP to stop talking about 2020 election

Georgia Republican Gov. Brian Kemp says he does not currently plan on running for president in 2024 and he warned Republican candidates to stop talking about 2020 election fraud. 

Specifically targeting former President Donald Trump's comments about election fraud, Kemp said Monday on CNN: "I think if he continues to do that, he's going to lose Georgia, in November. I mean, people are not worried about the past, regardless about -- of how you feel about the election, you know?"

He also said that he thinks moderate Republicans and independents "are not worried about the 2020 election right now."

Even though he disagrees with Trump on election fraud in Georgia, Kemp says he plans on ultimately "supporting a Republican nominee to beat Joe Biden" in the 2024 election and that any Republican running for the Oval Office would be better than the Biden-Harris administration. 

Trump has repeatedly clashed with Kemp over his stance on 2020 election fraud in the vital battleground state and even endorsed former Georgia Sen. David Perdue in a bid to unseat the governor in 2022.

When CNN's Kaitlan Collins asked whether he had fully ruled out running for the White House in 2024, Kemp responded: "I got a great job right now. I personally feel like having more people in the race does not help us win and beat Joe Biden. So, I'm certainly not running for president. But there's always doors open, in politics, depending on how things play out. And we'll see what happens."
