Republicans are begging Trump not to campaign for Herschel Walker in Georgia. He's livid about it.
that the announcement was “a terrible idea” and that whoever was advising the president to plow forward with his campaign plans “should be fired.”
According to one of the people familiar with the matter, the ex-president has privately complained about a, during which his own former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany declined to say whether or not Trump should travel to Georgia — even though she added that DeSantis should be “welcome to the state.” Trump saw the Fox segment, starring one of his own past senior administration officials, as a “slap in the face,” per the source’s characterization.
One Republican, however, had a different vision. “I think if [Trump] and DeSantis and [Georgia Governor Brian] Kemp were to appear at the same rally it would be an enormous show of unity for Herschel,” says former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, an informal Trump adviser and a Walker booster. “If all three of them could come together, that would be ideal. It would bring all parts of the Republican Party together.
Gingrich’s fantasy gathering seems unlikely to come true. Trump dislikes both DeSantis and Kemp, who refused to join the push to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia. And setting aside his own ambitions and grievances is not Trump’s way. Two elections — the 2024 GOP presidential primary and the Republicans’ underwhelming showing in the midterms — have heightened the debate over Trump’s role in the party. Many in the GOP blame Trump for the poor midterm showings, nothing that several Senate and gubernatorial hopefuls that he elevated through primaries had flopped in the general election. And those aspersions have complicated Trump’s nascent presidential campaign.
