Vernon Jones to challenge Kemp in Georgia

Former Georgia state Rep. Vernon Jones will challenge Gov. Brian Kemp for the state’s top job in 2022.
Jones, a pro-Trump former Democrat, will be among those Republicans vying to unseat Kemp following an election cycle that was characterized by intense faceoffs between former President Donald Trump and Kemp.
“The time has come. Georgia is ready!” Jones wrote in a Thursday tweet, along with details of a Friday press conference.
