Biden is ahead of Trump in Georgia. He may become the first Democrat to win the state since 1992

According to the Washington Post, former Vice President Joe Biden has taken the lead in Georgia, which has favored Republican candidates for nearly 30 years. Whoever wins in a state where 99% of the ballots have already been counted will receive 16 votes from the electoral college — and for Biden this will mean a victory in the election.

As of Friday morning, Biden was 917 votes ahead of Trump. That doesn't mean he has the presidency in his pocket: at least 8,899 ballots sent from overseas and by U.S. Army personnel must arrive at the polls before the end of the day.

Nevertheless, if the ex-vice wins in the state, he will do what no Democrat has been able to do since 1992. Then Bill Clinton defeated former President Bush by a small margin.

To date, the counting of votes also continues in Pennsylvania, where the advantage is still on the side of Trump, in Nevada, where Biden has 49.4% of the vote, and in Arizona, where he overtook his opponent by 46 thousand votes.
