Joe Biden confirmed as Georgia winner after recount President-elect Joe Biden has been confirmed as the winner of Georgia, after the state conducted a hand recount. The first Democrat to take the state since Bill Clinton in 1996, Biden wins its 16 electoral college votes as part of a victory by 306-232. The Associated Press called the race on Thursday evening following the recount, which election officials said reaffirmed Biden’s victory more than two weeks after election day.
