Kemp during his campaign \u2062against Democratic \u2062activist \u2063Stacey \u2063Abrams.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier \u200cthis month, Gov. Kemp reiterated that the 2020 election &#8220;was\u2064 not stolen,&#8221; reaffirming the\u2063 security, \u2063accessibility, and \u200bfairness of Georgia&#8217;s elections.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, President Trump pleaded not \u2063guilty\u200d to all charges in Fulton County and waived his right to be present\u2062 during the arraignment. \u2063Last week, his mugshot \u200dwas taken.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Georgia Gov.
