In Georgia, a state pivotal to the 2024 U.S. presidential election, Black voters continued to overwhelmingly favor Democratic candidate Kamala Harris. However, former President Donald Trump showed modest gains among this demographic compared to his 2020 performance, according to Edison Research exit polls.
Harris secured 86% of the Black vote in Georgia, while Trump garnered 12%, reflecting a 1-percentage-point increase for Trump compared to 2020. Among Black men, Harris achieved 81%, with Trump maintaining 16%, the same level of support as in the previous election. Black women voters strongly backed Harris, with 90% support, but Trump’s share edged up to 8%, a 1-point rise from 2020.
