A person votes at a polling site for the presidential primary election on Tuesday, March 12, 2024, in Atlanta. – Emerging from their near-clean sweeps of Super Tuesday contests, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump head to Georgia, where they’ll campaign for votes in Tuesday’s presidential primary in a state that will play a pivotal role in deciding their fates in November.
For Trump, the day will likely have additional significance, as voters in Georgia and three other states may award him enough delegates to clinch the Republican nomination for president. Biden’s first possible date to clinch has also moved up to March 12.Aside from that, Georgia’s presidential primary will be largely anti-climactic.
Georgia is likely again to play a key role in the general election as it did in 2020, when Biden became the first Democratic presidential candidate to carry the state since Bill Clinton in 1992. Biden narrowly defeated Trump in Georgia by less than a quarter of a percentage point, a margin of 11,779 votes. Trump’s efforts to overturn those results are at the heart ofto have District Attorney Fani Willis removed from the case.
Voters in Homerville, in Clinch County, also saw an additional race on their ballot. In the special election for mayor of Homerville, Thomas Kennedy defeated Brooks Blitch IV, earning 232 votes to Blitch’s 69 votes. Copyright 2024 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
