Vice President Kamala Harris is maintaining support from President Joe Biden's 2020 coalition among young and Black voters in Georgia, based on initial exit poll results. However, there has been a notable shift among political independents in the Peach State, with former President Donald Trump now favored over Harris.

Among Black Georgia voters, approximately 86% indicated they voted for Harris, while around 60% of voters under 30 years old also supported her. These figures are in line with Biden's numbers from the previous election.
