Kemp faces pressure from Georgia congressman to take up redistricting: ‘Delay the House primary’

Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA) on Tuesday called on Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) to take up redistricting in Georgia

Kemp has said he supports redrawing the state’s political boundaries before the 2028 elections, but he recently ruled out taking up redistricting in Georgia before the midterm elections because voting in the state’s 2026 races is already underway. While states such as Louisiana have suspended elections to redistrict, Kemp said he would not take such a measure in Georgia, which has a May 19 primary.
