On Wednesday, November 6, 2024, former President Donald Trump secured a victory in the crucial swing state of Georgia, adding its 16 electoral votes to the Republican tally.
Georgia had narrowly gone to Joe Biden in 2020, breaking the state’s long-standing trend of favoring Republican presidential candidates since 1996. Trump’s 2020 loss in Georgia led to a political and legal battle as he sought to challenge the results, ultimately resulting in his indictment in the state.
This win marks a return of Georgia to Republican control in a closely watched contest.
