Republican Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) appeared at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Tuesday, while ignoring calls to criminally prosecute Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
Kemp’s Davos vacation suggests he prefers to socialize with global elites than combat corruption in his own state of Georgia.
Kemp told Georgia state lawmakers his Davos trip is “a great opportunity for me to be out here to share Georgia’s success story with people from around the world. Because I believe they can certainly learn a thing or two from us.”
It is not clear what global elites would learn from Kemp, who left the United States while his state of Georgia is the center of the left’s attack on election integrity.

Vivek looked good up there. Trump said he will be working with us for a long time. I hope he's the VP pick

I'm so tired of this guy. I don't ever want to see his face again.
Ronny is now horribly pathetic, annoying, worse than Scott Walker. IMO, he has burned much of his political capital for even a future run at anything, let alone POTUS in 2028. He is the Michael Dukakis of 2024. I don't care about his record as governor anymore, he has abandoned his state for his campaign anyways. Donors won't return his calls, he's in need if money to continue on to the rest of the primaries.
The Master outplayed the student, yet the kid still won't learn.

Its crazy how ronny boy has made himself look so bad in such a short time. Guess though I am glad he did it now rather than having hopes for him in 2028 like myself and others thought it should have played out.

I know he has his fans in this forum, but DeSantis has made a real mess of things. He should have sat this one out. My perception of him has changed entirely from just a few months ago.

I used to be a fan of him, but as VP to Pres. Trump. He's dropped way drown in my opinion and he definitely should have waited til 2028 to get into this ring. However, I do think what he said ^^^ was as good as he could have been. As mentioned, he's lost his command and doesn't sound convinced or have conviction, but I think his words were on.

Iowa is a very evangelical state and this is who voted for Trump. Once the election moves to New Hampshire next week, the state is mostly made up of people who consider themselves moderate.
It'll be important to see how Trump does and whether DeSantis picks up votes. If DeSantis doesn't do well, his donors will dry up and he might be able to limp into South Carolina.
Doubtful that both DeSantis and Haley make it to Super Tuesday.
Trump did well. If he carries moderate New Hampshire, the primary season is over.

DeSantis fell for the never Trump and Rinos, he's just like Romney, McCain and Cheney. Maybe he wasn't the conservative we thought, sure what he did in Florida was great, but he succumbed to the Establishment Republicans or he showed his true colors.

It is has become apparent that DeSantis's motivation is not in the best interests of the USA, only himself.

At one point in the recent past, I actually liked and supported him in the event that Trump didn't make it. Those days are long gone! He can crawl back under the rock he came from.
Long live Trump, and MAGA!!!

Oh, he had his conservative moments, but like you posted, he succumbed to the Uniparty Establishment. He is now pure, greasy politician. He toed the line on the Establishment versions of Jan. 6th, Ukraine, etc. He completely, thoroughly betrayed his mentor, a man who did him tremendous favors helping to build his current career. If Ronny is more than willing to throw Trump under the bus, what will he do in the WH? To me, it is not a matter of him being a RINO, but more of the issue that I cannot trust the man anymore. To me, he is Pence, Christie, Mattis, Barr.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz endorsed Donald Trump for president Tuesday night and called for the country to unify behind the Republican front-runner.
"I am proud to endorse Donald Trump for President of the United States," Cruz said on "Hannity." "I look forward to supporting him enthusiastically."
Cruz, who fiercely battled Trump in the 2016 election primaries, argued that the results of the Iowa caucuses showed there is only one viable Republican nominee.
"[Iowa] was a dominating victory for Donald Trump: I've got to say, there's no place like the Iowa caucuses. I know it intimately. The men and women of Iowa, they take their responsibility incredibly seriously. They scrutinize the candidates," Cruz said.
"It's an amazing process, and I'm a big believer in letting democracy play out. Well, last night it played out, and I got to say Trump's victory was across the board… Congratulations to President Trump on that dominating victory," Cruz said. "And at this point, I believe this race is over."
Trump earned 51% of the votes in the Iowa caucuses on Monday, claiming a 30-point victory over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who slightly secured second place over Nikki Haley, the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and former two-term South Carolina governor.
The Texas senator said that Trump's landslide victory in the Iowa caucuses showed that the former president's candidacy is "compelling."
"I'm a big believer we need to let the process play out: It did. And the results last night: 51% [of the vote, which included] 98 counties – that's compelling. And at this point, I think the contrast needs to be on substance and policy and records [versus Biden]," Cruz said.
Cruz noted he is also a top senatorial election target for Democrats as he seeks a third term in the November election.
"I wear that as a badge of honor," he said of continuing to receive the ire and attention of Democrats as his re-election approaches.
"If you are a left-wing Democrat, after Donald Trump, there's nobody in the country you want to beat more than me. And Chuck Schumer has made clear I am his number one target in the country," Cruz continued. "The Democrats are going to spend $100 million this year trying to beat me and trying to flip Texas blue. Now, that ain't going to happen."
Trump also picked up an endorsement from Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., another former 2016 primary competitor, on Sunday.
Cruz and Trump have a complicated political history.
The firebrand conservative senator, who was the runner-up to Trump in the combustible 2016 Republican presidential nomination race, withheld his endorsement for weeks after Trump officially secured the GOP nomination eight years ago.
The two did repair their relationship, and supported each other in the ensuing years.
But in recent weeks, sources tell Fox News that Cruz came under increasing pressure from Trump world to back the former president ahead of Monday's Iowa caucuses.
Cruz, who narrowly won the 2016 Iowa caucuses over Trump and a crowded field of contenders, resisted, saying he had "an immense amount of respect for the Iowa caucuses and their procedures…I was a part of that process in 2016, so I have a special appreciation for it, and I learned intimately how unpredictable it can be."
Trump in recent weeks - on his social media platform Truth Social - also targeted Cruz over the senator's 2024 re-election bid.
The other U.S. senator in Texas, Republican Sen. John Cornyn, has said he will remain neutral in the nomination race and has emphasized he would prefer the GOP moves in a new direction.
