Trump projected winner in Georgia
Former President Trump has won the state of Georgia, Decision Desk HQ projects, flipping the crucial battleground back into his column after narrowly losing the state four years ago.
Georgia was one of the most valuable battlegrounds with its 16 electoral votes, and both candidates had spent time there in the closing days of the campaign. Polls had shown a tight race leading up to Election Day.
The former president put to rest a long-simmering feud with Gov. Brian Kemp (R) over the summer, pleasing Republicans who viewed Kemp’s political operation as potentially pivotal to winning the state in November.
Trump won Georgia comfortably in 2016, but the state turned blue in 2020 when President Biden carried it by less than 12,000 votes. It was the first time a Democrat won Georgia since 1992.
Georgia has been at the center of fights over election integrity since 2020, when Trump sought to overturn the state’s election results and made baseless claims of widespread fraud. He was indicted in 2023 over his efforts to overturn the results, though a judge has dropped multiple charges.
