Joe Biden wins presidential race in Georgia, beating Trump



[ad_1]

The presidential race in Georgia was called for President-elect Joe Biden on Thursday evening, officially giving him the state’s 16 electoral votes and widening his lead over President Trump.

Biden has 306 electoral votes against 232 for Trump, although the president has yet to concede the race.

Instead, the president’s campaign launched lawsuits in a handful of key battlefield states, including Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

The defeat in Georgia is a heavy blow to the Trump campaign after defeating Democratic challenger Hillary Clinton by a margin of around 5% in the 2016 election cycle.
