Georgia has been a [[red state]] in presidential elections since 1996, favoring [[Republican]] candidates. It last favored a [[Democratic]] Presidential candidate in 1992 when it supported [[Bill Clinton]]. However, growth in the Atlanta area has made that area solidly Democrat, as are the areas around Augusta and Macon; as the rest of the state is predominantly rural, it remains to be seen if Georgia will remain solidly red or trend toward becoming a [[purple state]] like its neighbor Florida. Although it is disputed, some people claim that [[Joe Biden]] won Georgia by 12,284 votes in 2020.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cnn.com/election/2020/results/state/georgia|title=President:Georgia|accessdate=November 19, 2020}}</ref> | Georgia has been a [[red state]] in presidential elections since 1996, favoring [[Republican]] candidates.
