TERRELL COUNTY, Ga. — In the aftermath of the 2024 election, many are digging into the numbers to see how the candidates faired in individual counties in individual states.
In Georgia, the county with the closest margin of votes was Terrell County, where the winner came down to just 39 votes.
Kamala Harris narrowly won the most votes in the county, with 2,041—just 50.3% of the total. Meanwhile, Donald Trump secured 2,002 votes, just 49.4%.
Trump, the nation's 45th president, will return to the White House as its 47th. The former President was declared the 2024 election winner early Wednesday morning. His closest allies in Georgia, some of the state's leading conservatives, hailed Trump's victory as "dominant, undeniable, historic" and "the greatest comeback in American history."
Republicans aligned with Trump in Georgia reacted in a celebratory mood. At the same time, those with whom he had a frostier relationship, such as Gov. Brian Kemp, had yet to comment as the day after the election dawned.
