Walker spoke to Republicans in Columbus, having moved into a more public campaign phase in recent days despite continued questions about his past. Walker has been accused of threatening his ex-wife’s life, exaggerating his business record and lying about graduating from the University of Georgia. Black, who has attacked Walker most sharply, argues that Walker isn’t qualified and that his personal history makes him unelectable. Other RGA figures who have been at odds with Trump have also come to Georgia to campaign for Kemp in recent days, including Arizona Gov. Despite the rift, Ricketts downplayed the differences with Trump, saying party splits are “not unusual” in contested primaries.
