When was the last time Georgia voted blue? It’s been nearly 30 years
Georgia last voted for a Democratic president in 1992, with Bill Clinton taking 43.47% of the vote to George H.W. Bush’s 42.88%.
The 1992 election was the last U.S. presidential election where an incumbent president did not win re-election.
Prior to Clinton’s first campaign, the most recent time Georgia voted for a Democrat was Georgia-native Jimmy Carter’s 1980 campaign, in which he lost to Ronald Reagan.
As of Thursday night of the 2020 presidential election, former Vice President Joe Biden was closing in on President Donald Trump’s narrow lead. With less than 19,000 ballots to be counted, Trump was ahead by fewer than 4,000 votes.
Should Biden win, he would be the first Democratic president elected by Georgia in nearly three decades. If Biden does not win Georgia, it will likely still be the narrowest margin in Georgia election in history.
