(Cheers and applause)

The coalition of voters that made that possible was led by Black voters, who constituted a majority of those voting for Biden, according to election estimates. The success of the Democratic Party's gains in Georgia can in part be attributed to a rise in the Black population in this state. In the early 1990s, when Bill Clinton won, Black people were about a quarter of the state's population. In 2020, they were about a third of the state's population.
