Former Republican state \u2062Rep. Micah Gravley thinks so.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Based on everybody I\u200d talk to, I think there&#8217;s a resurgence of support for Trump simply based on the fact\u200b that his administration got things accomplished,&#8221; Gravley, who represented an \u2063exurban \u200dcounty \u2064west of Atlanta, said. &#8220;Things were better economically, and there\u2063 was more respect internationally. I think that&#8217;s going to play out\u2064 in \u2063the\u2064 general election.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Gravley said he and many other Georgians\u2063 support both Kemp and Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Like Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), Kemp \u2062won \u2064his \u200coffice thanks in part to a 2018 Trump endorsement. But Kemp\u200d won reelection in direct opposition \u2064to Trump after defying his election demands.<\/p>\n<p>The stakes are\u2063 high for Trump. Georgia is \u2062one of just four states identified as a 2024 toss-up by Sabato&#8217;s Crystal Ball, and \u200dbased on Sabato&#8217;s\u200b math, Trump may need\u200b to \u2064win all four of them, including Arizona, Nevada, and Wisconsin, to get back into \u200bthe\u2064 White House. Of \u2062the four, Georgia has the most Electoral College votes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It would do Trump good if he had the\u2064 support of\u2062 Gov. \u200bKemp,&#8221; Gravley\u200d added.<\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s Peach State record has been shaky in\u200d multiple ways over the last two election cycles. \u2064He is generally seen \u200cas playing a role \u2062in the Democrats sweeping two Senate runoffs in\u200c early 2021. In \u20632022, Trump&#8217;s hand-picked Senate candidate Herschel Walker was\u200c the only Republican to lose a \u200dstatewide election\u200d in Georgia.<\/p>\n<p>Democratic \u2062state Rep. Roger Bruce, who \u2062represents portions \u2064of Fulton\u200c County, doesn&#8217;t see Trump winning his state \u2062next year.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They had everything petitioned off downtown in anticipation\u200d of there being masses turning out if he was indicted. Nobody turned out,&#8221; \u2064Bruce said.\u2063 &#8220;I just don&#8217;t\u2063 think he has\u200c the influence he once \u200cdid.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But Trump was \u2062also widely written off in 2016 before pulling off\u2063 a shocking upset that included winning Georgia.<\/p>\n<p>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/p>\n<p>In that light, GeorgiaPol.com \u200dpublisher Charlie \u2062Harper urges caution about prognosticating for next year, especially with so many other variables \u2063still unknown.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[The outcome] would have a lot more to do with where the economy is, if inflation\u2063 is really under control, and who the\u2063 toss-up suburban voters\u2062 believe\u2063 threatens their status quo the least,&#8221; Harper said. &#8220;In that \u200dscenario, Trump \u2063edging out Biden \u2063in \u200bGeorgia from an electorate incredibly\u2062 frustrated with both candidates \u2064remains a possibility.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The question of whether former President Donald Trump can overcome his Georgia indictments is only surpassed by whether he can secure victory in the Peach State in 2024.
