Former president Donald Trump has won the swing state of Georgia, returning its 16 electoral votes to the Republican column, the Associated Press reports.
With Trump’s victory in Georgia, the state becomes the first to flip from the 2020 results, AP highlights.
Joe Biden narrowly carried Georgia in 2020, but Republicans have won every other Georgia presidential vote since 1996, AP notes.
It adds that Trump tried to overturn his 2020 loss in Georgia, setting off a political and legal struggle that led to his indictment in the state.
