As election day approaches, the outcome remains uncertain, with each candidate vying for crucial support across key demographics
With the US Presidential Election set for November 5, 2024, anticipation is building around the race between Vice President Kamala Harris, representing the Democratic ticket, and Republican contender Donald Trump, who seeks a return to the White House, livemint.com reported.
President Joe Biden recently cast his vote during early voting in Delaware, choosing Harris and other Democratic candidates and encouraging Americans to participate in this crucial election.
In a post on social media, Biden expressed pride in voting for Harris, Tim Walz, Lisa Rochester, and other Democrats. He also underscored the importance of public participation, reminding voters of what he described as “too much on the line” in this election. Biden’s call to action aims to galvanize the public in a race marked by a nearly even split in recent polling data. According to a New York Times and Siena College poll, Harris and Trump are tied at 48 percent in the popular vote, reflecting a divided electorate amid recent political turbulence.
With political tensions running high, all eyes are on November 5 as the United States heads toward a defining election in its political history
Vice President Harris has garnered substantial support from the Indian-American community, with 60% indicating their intent to vote for her, according to recent expert analyses. This demographic, known for high voter turnout rates, could play a pivotal role in shaping the election outcome. For Harris, this election could be historic as she stands poised to potentially become the first female president of the United States.
Meanwhile, Trump faces scrutiny for recent controversies, including remarks made at a rally in New York. Following his event at Madison Square Garden, where speakers made inflammatory and racist comments, Trump defended the rally as a “lovefest,” mirroring language he used to describe the January 6 Capitol insurrection. While some Republican allies have distanced themselves from the rally’s tone, Trump continued to embrace his support base, focusing on energizing his followers.
