Georgia on the mind of the Trump and Biden campaigns as the key state holds primary

Former President Donald Trump and President Biden don't agree on much politically, but they do agree that Georgia is key to winning the White House.

Trump earned the state's electoral votes in 2016. Then, Biden narrowly clinched it in 2020 by about 12,000 votes, so a path to victory is not unreachable for either one of them.

But Georgia is also a state that highlights some of the obstacles both candidates face heading in the general election, like Trump's criminal indictments - including facing charges in the state itself - and a shrinking Republican tent, to an enthusiasm gap for Biden's campaign among nonwhite voters and concerns over his handling of conflict in Gaza.

Both Trump and Biden visited Georgia ahead of Tuesday's presidential primary, though seemed more focused on November with their messaging.

Trump has spent the last three years insisting he didn't lose the state, putting it been on the frontlines of the fight over the direction of the GOP and how Trump-like its future should be.
