Biden takes the lead from Trump in Georgia

Democratic candidate Joe Biden officially took the lead in Georgia Thursday night, after a new round of results were released.

As of 4:30 a.m. EST, the former Vice President leads by 917 votes with thousands of ballots remaining to be counted.

Biden caught then passed Trump in the traditionally red state due to an onslaught of mail-in ballots from Democratic-leaning counties. Democratic voters utilized early voting and mail-in ballots across the nation more so than Republicans.
