Vance, Kemp say GOP is united as long-simmering Trump feud is relegated to the past

Republican Vice Presidential nominee J.D. We have Brian Kemp, Donald Trump, Nikki Haley, Tulsi Gabbard, and Bobby Kennedy Jr. What an amazing team of patriots fighting for this country,” Vance said at a dinner for the Georgia Faith and Freedom Coalition, a conservative Christian lobbying group “Of course, there’s a lot of disagreement between those five individuals I just named, and amazingly, amazingly, they’re all on Trump’s team for 2024, because we are the party of common sense,” he added. “We can disagree, and we’ve got to get common sense back in the White House, and that’s why we’re here.” Kemp’s praise for Vance’s boss, former President Donald Trump, was subdued. But Vance told the conservative Christian crowd that Trump’s return to the White House would be especially good for people like them, saying that cultural conservatives will “always have a seat at the table in the Republican Party.” “I stand here as the vice presidential nominee saying the Republican Party is proud to be the pro-life and the pro-family party,” he said. Thurman’s death, which happened the month after the state’s six-week abortion ban took effect, represents the first time an abortion-related death has been officially deemed “preventable.” As Vance was speaking, the DNC put out a press release detailing previous Vance statements on abortion as “a reminder of his close ties and unpopular promises to this anti-choice group.” Political fallout The dinner marks the closest thing to a reconciliation between Kemp and the Republican presidential nominee since a mostly one-sided spat ended their friendship in 2020 after Kemp declined to cosign Trump’s false claim of election theft in Georgia.
