A Georgia judge decided on Oct. 15 to block a rule about the state hand-counting ballots on election day amid concerns that it could slow down announcing election results.
While Trump is leading across battleground states, the presidential race is still tight. The Republican candidate has a 1.2 point lead, pulling 48.4% support across seven top battleground states compared to Harris trailing behind at 47.2%, according to polling averages from RealClear Polling.
Harris is ahead of Trump nationwide, with a lead of 0.8 points at 49.3% compared to Trump’s 48.5%, according to national polling averages from RealClear Polling.
Trump has made significant strides among black voters. The Democrats have been attempting to shore up support for Harris from black voters amid concerns of weak enthusiasm from the key voting bloc.
“The most recent polling shows what Team Trump already knew, Georgians from Catoosa to Camden County are tired of the cost-of-living skyrocketing and drugs flowing across the open border into our communities,” Morgan Ackley, Georgia Communications Director for the Trump campaign said in a statement shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation. “President Trump is winning or tied in every battleground, including Georgia, because his message is resonating with voters across the country. This November Georgia will say no to Kamala Harris and yes to Donald Trump and his America First policies.”
