US Election 2024: Swingstate Georgia
Many of the swing states in the 2024 election overlap with the places where Trump-backed Republicans attempted to contest Joe Biden’s 2020 victory.
In Georgia’s Fulton County, Trump faces one of his four criminal indictments, stemming from alleged attempts to interfere with the 2020 election results. Trump and 18 others are accused of conspiring to overturn his narrow loss to Biden in Georgia. While Trump denies any wrongdoing, it’s becoming increasingly likely that the case won’t go to trial before the election.
Georgia, a critical battleground, has one of the largest African-American populations in the U.S., with Black voters playing a key role in Biden’s win in 2020. Although some disillusionment with Biden has been reported among Black voters, the Harris campaign is focused on re-energizing this crucial voting bloc heading into 2024.
