The 2016 United States presidential election in Georgia was held on Tuesday, November 8, 2016, as part of the 2016 United States presidential election in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia participated. Georgia voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote, pitting the Republican Party's nominee, businessman Donald Trump, and running mate Indiana Governor Mike Pence against Democratic Party nominee, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and her running mate Virginia Senator Tim Kaine. Georgia has 16 electoral votes in the Electoral College. Trump won Georgia by 5.09%, a lower margin compared to Mitt Romney's 7.82% in 2012 and even John McCain's 5.20% in 2008. Clinton received 45.64% of the vote, making this one of the few states where she outperformed Barack Obama in 2012, when he received just 45.51% of the vote. This, combined with Trump's reduced margin of victory, made Georgia one of eleven states (plus the District of Columbia) to vote more Democratic in 2016 than in 2012. The Atlanta metropolitan area in particular shifted strongly Democratic compared to 2012, with Clinton becoming the first Democrat to win Henry County since Georgia native Jimmy Carter in 1980, and the first Democrat to win Gwinnett County and Cobb County since 1976, when Carter won all of the state's counties. Trump thus became the first Republican to win the White House without carrying Cobb County since Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956, as well as the first to do so without carrying Douglas, Gwinnett or Rockdale Counties since Richard Nixon in 1968, and the first to do so without carrying Baldwin, Henry, Newton, or Sumter Counties since Ronald Reagan in 1980. The leftward shifts in urban Georgia between 2012 and 2016 ultimately foreshadowed Georgia's transition from a Republican leaning state, into a legitimately highly competitive swing state in 2020, as well as the first Democratic victory in the state on the presidential level since 1992 which occurred in that year's election.
