Donald Trump Jr. clarified on Monday that his praise for Georgia gubernatorial candidate Rick Jackson was not an endorsement, despite his father’s backing of Lt. Gov. Burt Jones. The post came as Jackson and Jones prepare for Tuesday’s Republican primary runoff. Trump Jr. emphasized that both candidates support the MAGA movement, stating, 'No matter who wins tomorrow, it’s a victory for MAGA.' Meanwhile, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp endorsed Jones on Monday, calling him a 'strong, trusted ally' and praising his work on tax relief and tort reform. Kemp also campaigned for Jones, arguing he is best positioned to defeat Democratic nominee Keisha Lance Bottoms in November. Trump has endorsed Jones since last year, while Kemp had previously remained neutral in the race. The runoff follows a divisive primary where neither candidate secured a majority. In the Senate race, Trump endorsed Rep. Mike Collins, while Kemp supports former football coach Derek Dooley. The GOP’s internal divisions have raised concerns about unity ahead of the general election.
