"The Peach State victory is a major win for Trump. Both major-party presidential campaigns spent considerable time in Georgia, rallying voters in metropolitan Atlanta and stumping for votes in the rest of the state, notably in the Augusta, Columbus, and Savannah areas."
"Georgia over the past decade has changed in significant ways. The Republican Brian Kemp won the 2018 gubernatorial race, but a Democrat, Stacey Abrams, came within 2 points of victory, shocking many in the political world."
"In 2020, Joe Biden narrowly defeated Trump in the state, eclipsing the Republican by almost 12,000 votes out of nearly 5 million ballots cast. In the dual 2021 Senate runoff elections, the Democrats Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff won their races, which delivered the Senate majority to the Democratic Party."
"Trump focused on turning out his rural base, but he also held rallies in Atlanta in hopes of chipping away at Harris' advantage in the region."
