Over the weekend, Gov. Brian Kemp told his fellow Republicans that it’s time to move on from former President Donald Trump and the 2020 election.

In this edition of the Politically Georgia podcast, hosts Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy discuss why the Republican governor is making the case for anyone but Trump on CNN and to the AJC.

The two will also explain why it won’t be easy to move on from Trump since a new UGA poll shows the former president remains the clear favorite for Georgia Republicans.
