BREAKING: Trump, Harris' Fate on the Line as Winner Emerges in Second Battleground State, Georgia

  • Donald Trump has won the state of Georgia in the ongoing US presidential election with 63.5 per cent of the votes
  • Trump's victory in Georgia is the second of the battlefield states that the former US president would win as the election results rolled out
  • As Vice President Kamala Harris loses Georgia, her hope of becoming the first US female president became threatened

Donald Trump has secured a crucial victory in Georgia, a key battleground state, dealing a significant blow to Kamala Harris' presidential bid. With 63.5 per cent of the vote, Trump's win in Georgia brings his total electoral count to 230, while Harris trails behind with 187 electoral votes.

This win is particularly significant, as Georgia has been a tightly contested state in recent elections. Trump's victory in Georgia is seen as a major setback for Harris, who had hoped to replicate Joe Biden's success in the state during the 2020 presidential election.
