Trump Wins Georgia and Gets One Terrifying Step Closer to Presidency

Trump Wins Georgia and Gets One Terrifying Step Closer to Presidency



Former President Donald Trump has won Georgia in the 2024 presidential election and taken its 16 electoral votes, according to CNN and MSNBC.

The state was highly coveted by both Trump and Kamala Harris, and Trump’s win gives the former president a total of 246 electoral votes, closer to the 270 total needed to win the White House. Kamala Harris has 189 votes.

Trump is leading 50.8 percent to Harris’s 48.5 percent according to the AP’s count thus far, possibly thanks a pro-Trump takeover of the state elections board. Trump also had bad blood with the state’s Republican Governor Brian Kemp over his efforts to overturn the 2020 election in the state, but still got Kemp’s endorsement in the end. 

Trump’s victory returns the state to a Republican presidential
candidate, as was the case when he won the Peach State in 2016. In 2020,
Joe Biden pulled off a rare victory when he won the state by
11,779 votes,
or a 0.2 percent margin. Republicans had won the state in every other
presidential election since 1984, with the exception of 1992, when
southern Democrat Bill Clinton was on the ballot.

Trump will be glad to have won Georgia, especially after his fake elector scheme failed in 2020. The former president and convicted felon has already pulled off victories in the battleground state of North Carolina. Results in the remaining battleground states have yet to be announced.
