Trump wins Georgia, which becomes first US state to flip from 2020 result
The Associated Press, CNN and The New York Times have called the battleground US state of Georgia for Donald Trump, giving him a further boost after he won North Carolina and continues to lead in the other swing states.
The result returns Georgia’s 16 electoral votes to the Republican column, with the state becoming the first to flip from the 2020 results. Joe Biden narrowly carried the state back then, but Republicans have won every other Georgia presidential vote since 1996.
