The news rolled in just after 4 a.m. ET on Friday, after Clayton County reported new vote totals, that Biden was now ahead of Trump in the state by 917 votes, putting him on a clearer path to victory in the U.S. presidential election.
Despite the late hour, plenty of Americans were still up, anxiously awaiting the results, including singer John Legend, who celebrated the moment with a performance of the classic song “Georgia on My Mind”, most famously associated with Ray Charles.
