Biden now leading in state of Georgia with 917 votes inching closer to victory

Trump cannot win this election without winning Georgia 

Joe Biden has taken lead in Georgia for the first time. He is leading with nearly 917 votes. 

For the first time Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden took the lead in the key state of Georgia which carries 16 votes in the Electoral College.

AFP citing CNN and Fox News reported that former vice president ate away at President Donald Trump’s initial lead in the southern state and is now ahead by 917 votes.

Trump had won Georgia by five percentage points in 2016.

The world's attention has been focused on the states of Pennsylvania, Georgia and Nevada, where extremely tight races between the two presidential candidates have prevented the declaration of anyone as a winner yet.

Likewise in Pennsylvania, a key state with 20 electoral college votes, Trump's early lead has been whittled down to a mere 0.3 points margin over Biden with many votes yet to be counted.
