Presidential election day approaches in US: Here's all you need to know

Election Day is nearly upon us. In a matter of hours, the final votes in the 2024 presidential election will be cast. In a deeply divided nation, the election is a true toss-up between Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump. We know there are seven battleground states that will decide the outcome, barring a major surprise. But major questions persist about the timing of the results, the makeup of the electorate, the influx of misinformation even the possibility of political violence. At the same time, both sides are prepared for a protracted legal battle that could complicate things further. Here's what to watch on the eve of Election Day 2024: History will be made either way Given all the twists and turns in recent months, it's easy to overlook the historical significance of this election.

US elections: Nikki Haley calls Trump 'better choice' over Kamala Harris

Former US president Donald Trump is 'clearly the better choice,' as compared to his Democratic rival Vice President Kamala Harris, former US ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley has said. Haley urged undecided voters to look at both candidates' policy proposals, which she said clearly show Trump as the better option in a Wall Street Journal op-ed published two days before Election Day. "I don't agree with Trump 100 per cent of the time. But I do agree with him most of the time, and I disagree with Harris nearly all the time. That makes this an easy call. Here are the facts most relevant to me," the former South Carolina governor wrote in an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal on Sunday. Batting for her former boss, the Indian American wrote; Will Trump do some things I don't like in a second term? I'm sure he will. If that was the question before voters, then I imagine Trump would lose. But that isn't the question in any election. "No politician gets everything right. For those of us who

US elections: New Iowa poll shows Harris leading over Trump in race

Vice President Kamala Harris is leading 47 percent to 44 percent over former President Donald Trump among likely voters in Iowa, a new poll showed two days ahead of the high-stakes election for the White House. Trump was quick to reject the poll as "fake". "One of my enemies just puts out a poll -- I am 3 down. (Iowa Senator) Joni Ernst called me, everyone's called me, they said you are killing in Iowa. The farmers love me and I love them," he said at a rally in key battleground state of Pennsylvania. Trump said that the poll released Saturday was "fake". "I'm not down in Iowa," he asserted. The poll by Des Moines Register newspaper came even as both Trump and Harris criss-crossed key battleground states to make their closing remarks ahead of the November 5 national election day. Acording to the poll, Harris is leading in the race in view of support from women and independent voters.

Trump talks about reporters being shot, says he shouldn't have left WH

Donald Trump gave a profane and conspiracy-laden speech two days before the presidential election, talking about reporters being shot and suggesting he shouldn't have left the White House after his 2020 loss to Democrat Joe Biden. In remarks Sunday that bore no resemblance to his standard speech in the campaign's closing stretch, the former president repeatedly cast doubt on the integrity of the vote and resurrected old grievances about being prosecuted after trying to overturn his defeat four years ago. Trump intensified his verbal attacks against a grossly incompetent national leadership and the American media, steering his Pennsylvania rally at one point on to the topic of violence against members of the press. The GOP nominee for the White House noted the ballistic glass placed in front of him at events after a gunman's assassination attempt in July at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and Trump talked about places where he saw openings in that protection.

India-US ties most important globally for future: Democratic leader Makhija

The India-US partnership is the most important engagement globally and the cooperation will flourish further if Kamala Harris becomes the US president as she recognises the significance of the relationship, prominent Indian-origin Democratic leader Neil Makhija has said. In an exclusive interview with PTI, the young leader, considered to be close to Harris, also came down very hard on former president Donald Trump for his immigration policy that has triggered some concerns among immigrant communities in the US, including Indian-Americans. On the India-US partnership, Makhija said it is the most important relationship for the future. "When you think about the competition the US has been having with China, when you think about the actions that Russia is taking which are at odds with the interests of the US and its allies, India is really the most important country for the US to continue to build the relationship in terms of its sheer size, economic activities," he said. Makhija said

Joe Biden suggests he'd like to smack 'macho guys' during final campaign

President Joe Biden returned to his birthplace in Pennsylvania, making a final campaign stop Saturday for Vice President Kamala Harris and again let loose offering the kind of unfiltered political sentiments that have become fairly common in recent weeks. Biden slammed Harris' rival, former Republican President Donald Trump, and his supporters on policy issues during a speech in Scranton, but then suggested that he'd hit back literally on faux macho guys. There's one more thing Trump and his Republican friends want to do. They want to have a giant tax cut for the wealthy, Biden told the local chapter of the carpenters union. Then, apparently referencing people backing Trump, he added, Now, I know some of you guys are tempted to think it's macho guys. I tell you what, man, when I was in Scranton, we used to have a little trouble going down the plot once in a while," Biden continued. These are the kind of guys you'd like to smack in the ass.
