Joe Biden confirmed as Georgia winner following recount

Joe Biden’s victory in the US state of Georgia in the 2020 presidential election has been confirmed following a recount making him the first Democrat to win in Georgia since Bill Clinton in 1992.

The recount found around 5,800 uncounted votes which helped narrow Biden’s lead but he still picked up 12,000 votes more than Donald Trump.

The result of the recount is expected to be certified today.

President Donald Trump is still pursuing a number of court cases in an attempt to overturn the election result but as more states confirm Biden as winner, his options are shrinking rapidly.
