Gov. Brian Kemp, who beat back Donald Trump's hand-picked challenger in last year's GOP primary before going on to win in November, further distanced himself from the former president by telling The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he expects a wide-open primary that showcases the successes of Republican governors and the work of other conservative leaders.
