President Trump said he wants Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp to resign.
Kemp, a Republican, “should resign from office” over his refusal to “admit” that Trump beat President-elect Joe Biden in the state, Trump said Wednesday. Trump has railed against Republican officials in Georgia for what he views as mismanagement of the election.
Hearings from Atlanta on the Georgia Election overturn now being broadcast. Check it out. @OANN @newsmax and many more. @BrianKempGA should resign from office. He is an obstructionist who refuses to admit that we won Georgia, BIG! Also won the other Swing States.

Trump called Kemp an “obstructionist” and noted that he won “other swing states,” including Arizona, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, which have all been called for Biden by the Associated Press.
Trump asked his supporters to tune in to “hearings from Atlanta on the Georgia election,” which he noted could be viewed on several pro-Trump news organizations.
Georgia’s 2020 presidential election results and the January special election that will decide the majority in the Senate have made the state a focal point of national media in the weeks following Election Day.
Trump’s team has filed a number of lawsuits alleging election fraud, but none have delivered him the victory he was hoping for. His allies have turned their ire against both Kemp and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.
Kemp took office in January 2019 after a tumultuous election in which Democrat Stacey Abrams claimed the vote had been rigged against her.
