Per CNN:

Former President Donald Trump will win the key battleground state of Georgia, CNN projects.

There are 16 electoral votes at stake in Georgia. It takes at least 270 electoral votes to win the 2024 presidential election.

Who won in 2020: Georgia is a relatively new battleground state in presidential politics and helped deliver President Joe Biden his White House victory in 2020. Georgia flipped blue for the first time in nearly 30 years when Biden won by just 11,779 votes.

The state also determined Democrats would control the Senate in two runoff elections in 2021. The state then again backed the Democratic candidate for Senate in 2022, helping Democrats maintain control of the chamber.

Georgia became a focal point of national politics after the 2020 presidential election, when Trump called on Georgia state officials, including Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find” enough votes to flip the state for him to win. The former president and several of his advisers have been indicted for their actions in Georgia during the 2020 election.
