“What I’ve been telling everyone is: don’t get distracted, don’t believe what’s in the media, don’t believe in the polls,” he said. “The only thing you need to believe [in] will vote … I don’t think there is any doubt that Republicans have to have a big stake on election day to win these two races. “
Kemp, who served as Georgia’s secretary of state before being elected governor in 2018, said he was used to turning off the noise while doing his job.
