Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) made it clear that he doesn't attribute any credit to the Biden administration for electric vehicle battery suppliers' investments in the state in remarks at the groundbreaking of the Anovion Technologies plant on Tuesday.

According to the Republican governor, "we’re letting the market drive this innovation and expansion."

"When President Biden and others falsely try to take credit for Georgia’s success, don’t forget that next year is an election year," he said during his remarks at the site in the south Georgia town of Bainbridge.

Notably, Anovion Technologies was selected in 2022, under President Joe Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, to receive a $117 Million grant for the purpose of manufacturing batteries for electric vehicles and the electrical grid, as well as other parts currently outsourced to other countries.

In May, Kemp announced that the company would be making an $800 million investment in Decatur County and bringing 400 jobs.

On Monday, he called the company's plant "the latest milestone on Georgia’s path to becoming the e-mobility capital of the nation."

According to the governor, "Georgia’s electric mobility boom is taking place because our state is second to none for companies looking to invest, relocate, expand, and innovate, not because the federal government continues to put their thumb on the scale, favoring a few companies over the industry as a whole."

"I’m grateful to be standing alongside those who actually deserve credit for the history being made here today: the local elected and economic leaders, the postsecondary education providers who are growing a workforce worthy of the No. 1 state for business nine times over, and the unsung heroes on the state level who work tirelessly to bring these jobs to communities like this," he told listeners.

In another shot at the president, he claimed, "They don’t posture or showboat, and they don’t try to steal credit while they churn out victories like this all over the state and in record time."

Ahead of the event, Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) told the Associated Press, “It is bizarre to attend a groundbreaking and launch a political attack on the very policy that made the groundbreaking possible.”

“The governor is throwing a panicked political tantrum over the success of federal manufacturing policies in his own state," he added. The senator was also invited to the groundbreaking.

After launching an attack on Biden during the remarks on the electric vehicle part manufacturer, the Democratic National Committee responded.

Chairman Jaime Harrison tweeted, "I’m sure he was touting the new jobs created… because today’s Republican Party are masters of taking credit for other people’s (namely Democrats) work."

DNC national press secretary Ammar Moussa also reacted, attributing credit for the investment to Biden. "Wait wow. Brian Kemp attacked Joe Biden investments at a groundbreaking for a whole factory made possible by...Joe Biden's investment," he tweeted.
