Investigating the “disaster” of the Biden administration: What can the GOP do about the past, when does it help Joe Biden?

According to his prepared remarks obtained by Jake Tapper, Kemp said that 2020, is ancient history because voters have to pay rent, make car payments or put their children through college.

The current front-runner for the Republican nomination, Donald Trump has argued since leaving office that the Republicans can’t succeed if they don’t pay attention to the past. The candidates that backed his false election claims lost in the fall elections in key swing states, which will be critical factors in winning the White House in 4 years’ time.

In order for the former president to win back the White House in four years, candidates who backed his false election claims will need to do poorly in key swing states.

Trump is also under a cloud of legal woes. In New York, a hush money payment to an adult-film star shortly before the 2016 election has resulted in his indictment by a Manhattan grand jury over his alleged role in the scheme. In Atlanta, a select grand jury has been investigating the attempts by Trump and his allies to overturn their election loss in Georgia.

Kemp made direct mention of these investigations Saturday, according to his prepared remarks, calling the probes distractions that could take the Republican Party off course and away from issues voters care about.

“I can’t control what the judicial branch is doing or what a local prosecutor is doing in many ways, but what we can control … is what we’re focused on,” Kemp said Sunday.

“But here’s the truth: Fani Willis and Alvin Bragg’s investigations into allegations of the past don’t help hardworking Americans battling high grocery prices, growing pain at the gas pump or violent crime plaguing their neighborhoods,” he continued, referring to the district attorneys of Fulton County, Georgia, and Manhattan respectively.

“If we get distracted and talk about other things that the Democrats want to talk about, like these investigations – regardless of what you think about the politics of those – if we get distracted every day and let the media just talk about that, that only helps Joe Biden,” he added. “It does not give us a path for Republicans to win.”

Kemp said that Republicans need to draw a distinction between what he referred to as the “disaster” of the Biden administration and other things if they want to win next year.

If they focus on those things, I believe that we will have a good chance at winning the White House in four years.
