Trump's lead shocks CNN as Georgia turns red again
Donald Trump is getting closer to winning the US presidential election. The politician is winning in key states, including Georgia. The news that Trump is leading there shocked CNN presenter Jake Tapper. His expression says it all.
Donald Trump is getting closer to winning the US presidential election. The vote count is ongoing, but the latest forecasts published by the "New York Times" indicate that the former president has a 90 percent chance of returning to the White House.
Trump is winning in key states. He has already secured North Carolina among the so-called swing states. According to the latest forecasts, Georgia will also be his gain. The vote count continues in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, but the Republican candidate also leads there.
Elections in the USA. Georgia votes for Trump. Reaction in the CNN studio
The news that Donald Trump is winning in Georgia caused an immediate reaction in the studio of the American TV station CNN. Presenter Jake Tapper looked stunned when he saw that the support for the Republican reached as high as 54 percent.
The information was conveyed to Tapper by political director David Chalian. Four years ago, post-election polls showed that Joe Biden was leading over Trump among independent voters by nine percentage points. Now there has been a complete turnaround - Trump leads by eleven percentage points in the key voter group in the state of Georgia. This represents a 20 percentage-point shift in favour of the former president.
Wow! - exclaimed the astonished presenter upon seeing this data.
When Biden won in Georgia in 2020, he was the first Democratic candidate since 1992, when the state mostly voted for Bill Clinton. Not only was Tapper surprised by this result. "I'm trying to understand why," Chris Wallace, co-host of the program, admitted—voting in the USA.
