The 2024 United States presidential election in Georgia took place on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, as part of the 2024 United States elections in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia participated. Georgia voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The state of Georgia has 16 electoral votes in the Electoral College, following reapportionment due to the 2020 United States census in which it neither gained nor lost a seat.
Prior to the election, Georgia was considered to be a crucial swing state; rapid population growth in Georgia, particularly in Metro Atlanta, has led the state to become politically competitive in recent years.
Republican Donald Trump, representing neighboring Florida, flipped Georgia back into the Republican column, winning with a majority and a margin of 2.2% over Democrat Kamala Harris. This was the closest margin of victory for a Republican in Georgia since 1996, with Georgia again voting to the left of the neighboring states of North Carolina and Florida. Georgia also voted just 0.72% to the right of the nation, the closest Georgia has come to voting to the left of the nation since Jimmy Carter won his home state in 1980. It was also the last election where the 39th president voted until his death less than two months later on December 29.
This was the first time a Republican candidate would win a federal statewide race in Georgia since Trump's 5.09% victory over Hillary Clinton in 2016. Trump also received more than 2.66 million votes, setting a record for most votes cast for any candidate in the history of Georgia and became the second Republican ever to carry the state twice after George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004.
