Florida Governor Ron DeSantis recently held a private meeting with Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, sparking speculation about the 2024 presidential race.
The meeting took place at a hotel in Buckhead, Georgia, while DeSantis was in the area for a radio appearance on Erick Erickson's talk show, alongside other potential presidential candidates. However, sources close to the matter have confirmed that the two governors did not discuss endorsements during their conversation.
The private meeting between DeSantis and Kemp has attracted attention, with Fox News Digital reaching out to both governors' offices for comment. While the details of their discussion remain undisclosed, it is noteworthy that Kemp also spoke with former Vice President Mike Pence, who is also vying for the Republican nomination.
Meanwhile, Kemp is facing a separate legal battle in his home state. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis recently held a press conference to announce charges against former President Donald Trump and several others in an ongoing racketeering case. Willis has given Trump and the other individuals until August 25 to surrender to law enforcement, expressing her desire for a trial to take place within six months.
In the midst of these developments, State Senator Colton Moore has claimed to have the support of "3/5 of each respective house" in the state legislature for his efforts to impeach District Attorney Fani Willis.
However, Kemp's spokesman, Garrison Douglas, has stated that they have not been provided with any evidence to support this assertion. Moore clarified that the statement in his letter was inaccurate, emphasizing that he needs the support of his colleagues to take action on behalf of the people of Georgia.
The private meeting between DeSantis and Kemp has raised speculation about their political ambitions, particularly as DeSantis is considered a potential candidate for the Republican presidential ticket in 2024.
While the details of their conversation remain undisclosed, it is clear that both governors are navigating complex political landscapes in their respective states. As the legal battle against Trump unfolds in Georgia, Kemp is working to stay out of the fray, while DeSantis continues to build his profile as a potential presidential contender.
