ATLANTA, GA – An AJC report says, President Trump told Georgia Governor Brian Kemp that he strongly disagrees with Kemp’s decision to open up certain businesses in Georgia right now. Trump put a national spotlight on the conversation when he brought it up during a White House briefing, also saying, “It’s just too soon. I think it’s too soon.”

While the President does not have the authority to force Kemp to reverse his decision, some are wondering how this will affect the Governor’s support politically.

Governor Kemp took to Twitter and said, “Earlier today, I discussed Georgia’s plan to reopen shuttered businesses for limited operations with @POTUS. I appreciate his bold leadership and insight during these difficult times and the framework provided by the White House to safely move states forward.”
