Former President Donald Trump won the Peach State on Tuesday night, Decision Desk projected, clinching Georgia’s 16 electoral votes after Joe Biden won the state by a hair in 2020.
Trump, the Republican nominee, prevailed after benefiting from high turnout in rural areas, running on issues that resonate with voters, and courting racial minorities more effectively than in previous races.
Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, underperforms with black voters, said Mark Rountree, president at the Altanta-based firm Landmark Communications.
“What’s causing problems for Kamala Harris is that she is losing some steam with black male voters,” Rountree told The Daily Signal.
According to Fox News exit polls, 25% of black men surveyed said they supported Trump. Harris had 73% of their support, 14 points behind Biden’s 2020 showing in exit polls.
