📈 Which way the state was trending

For more than 20 years, Georgia had been a reliably red state in presidential elections — until 2020, when Biden narrowly defeated Trump by just 11,779 votes, a margin of 0.24%, becoming the first Democratic presidential nominee to carry the state since Bill Clinton did in 1992.

📌 Why it matters

Georgia was ground zero for Trump’s pressure campaign to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. During an infamous post-election phone call, Trump told Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find” him 11,780 more votes, the exact number he needed to win.
