*Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp says he'll back Trump should the ex-president win the GOP nomination.
*Trump's hand-picked candidate was unable to unseat Kemp in last year's GOP gubernatorial primary.
*Kemp told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Trump "would still be a lot better than Biden."
Former President Donald Trump last year recruited ex-Sen. David Perdue to oust Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp from office after he refused to help the then-commander-in-chief overturn Joe Biden's 2020 presidential victory in the state.
Perdue eventually lost the GOP gubernatorial primary in a landslide.
And Kemp has repeatedly chided Trump over his continued claims about 2020, arguing that the party cannot win in 2024 if they continue to hark back on the past.
But in an interview, the two-term Republican governor told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Saturday that he would still back Trump as the Republican nominee should the former president win the party's 2024 nomination.
