History

Historical Context

Georgia's political landscape transformed significantly during the 2020 presidential election, where Joe Biden won the state by 11,779 votes, marking the first Democratic victory since Bill Clinton in 1992. This shift, driven by demographic changes and increased voter engagement, led to the Democratic Party securing two Senate seats. As the 2026 elections approach, the state remains a focal point of partisan competition.
