J.D. Vance swears he smoothed over everything with Georgia governor: report

Georgia Republican Gov. Brian Kemp and Donald Trump have smoothed things over, according to Trump's running mate J.D. Vance

Kemp, a GOP loyalist, was among those lawmakers who got an angry phone call after the 2020 election demanding that he "find, uh, 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have, because we won the state."

Trump's running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), rolled into Georgia on Thursday to speak to another group of law enforcement officials. Vance has been traveling the country where he speaks briefly with law enforcement behind him and answers questions from reporters.

CBS News reporter Taurean Small asked about the campaign's relationship with Kemp since Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan appeared at the Democratic convention despite being a Republican.

Small said Vance later told him he spoke with Kemp and smoothed things over.

"Brian Kemp and Donald Trump have had some disagreements," Vance told Small. "I [can] 100% guarantee you that [Kemp] is behind this ticket.”

Kemp previously told CBS News that while he didn't vote for Trump in the primary elections, he would always support whoever became the Republican nominee.

Two weeks ago, at an Atlanta rally, Trump attacked Kemp as "disloyal" and called him bad for the Republican Party. A few months before that, Kemp told CNN's Caitlin Huey-Burns that Trump hadn't contacted him.
