Trump said Thursday he was “not happy” with Kemp’s decision to start reopening businesses in his state amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Kemp was among the first governors to announce businesses would begin reopening in his state.

Abrams, however, said on Sunday that Kemp’s decision is dangerous.

“The problem is that Georgians are at risk. We have the 14th-highest infection rate, seventh-slowest testing rate,” she said.

“We are not ready to open and this is a dangerous decision. We cannot open an economy when the people that empower that economy are at risk and until Georgia can trace and track and treat, then we cannot reopen the economy,” she added.
