US Election: Millions of citizens cast their votes ahead of polling day

The 42 Broadway in New York is an important address in this election season in the US. This is the office of the Board of Elections. Michael Ryan, executive director, and his deputy Vincent Ignizio are upbeat about the figures that the early voting has drawn for the city. On the first day, about 140,000 votes were cast in the early voting. We don't want to pat ourselves on the back but we are upbeat about this. New York has already created a record in early voting and it is still on, says Ryan. Across the United States, tens of millions of voters have already cast their ballots. According to the data from the University of Florida's Election Lab tracker, more than 68 million Americans have already voted. Across the nation, voters are taking advantage of the flexibility offered by early voting options, whether through mail-in ballots or in-person polling sites. This trend allows voters to avoid potential issues such as inclement weather, long queues, or unforeseen scheduling confli

Kamala Harris appears on Sat Night Live as 'mirror image of Maya Rudolph'

Vice President Kamala Harris made a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live in the final days before the election, playing herself as the mirror-image double of Maya Rudolph's version of her in the show's cold open. The first lines the candidate spoke as she sat across from Rudolph, their outfits identical, was drowned out by cheers from the audience. It is nice to see you Kamala, Harris told Rudolph with a broad grin she kept throughout the sketch. And I'm just here to remind you, you got this. In sync, the two said supporters need to Keep Kamala and carry-on-ala, declared that they share each other's belief in the promise of America, and delivered the signature Live from New York it's Saturday night!

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. During a rally later Saturday night in

Shift in democratic Indo-Americans, Muslim voters in Michigan towards Trump

A section of Indian-Americans, Muslims, and African-Americans in the battleground state of Michigan, who traditionally supported Democratic candidates in previous elections, have shifted their support towards Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump a move that could significantly impact the results of the November 5 US election. Michigan is one of the seven battleground states in the 2024 elections with a razor-thin margin of victory expected. As the auto capital of the world, Detroit drives Michigan's economy, generating numerous jobs in the manufacturing sector, particularly in the automotive industry. The state's strong working-class presence and robust labour unions add to its significance in the electoral landscape. Michigan stands out for its diverse demographics like New York in the East Coast and California in the West Coast. The state boasts of a significant Muslim population and several Congressional districts predominantly represented by African Americans. Detroit, i

Abortion right debate leads to expensive campaigns for state SC seats in US

Abortion and reproductive rights have been central to the races for president and governor in North Carolina, a battleground state that has more moderate abortion restrictions than elsewhere across the South. That's been even truer in the fight for a seat on the state Supreme Court that abortion rights supporters say will play an important role in determining whether Republicans can enact even more restrictions. Registered Republicans currently hold five of seven seats and could expand that majority even further in Tuesday's election. Justice Allison Riggs, a Democrat who is running for reelection, is focusing heavily on the issue and touts her support for reproductive rights. Her first television ad featured images of Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, the Republican nominee for governor, who prefers to restrict abortions earlier than the current 12 weeks. She says her GOP rival for the court could be a deciding vote on the bench for such restrictions. This is an issue that is landing in fron

Trump using election lies for challenging 2024 results if defeated

Donald Trump has spent months laying the groundwork to challenge the results of the 2024 election if he loses just as he did four years ago. At rally after rally, he urges his supporters to deliver a victory too big to rig," telling them the only way he can lose is if Democrats cheat. He has refused to say, repeatedly, whether he will accept the results regardless of the outcome. And he's claimed cheating is already underway, citing debunked claims or outrageous theories with no basis in reality. The only thing that can stop us is the cheating. It's the only thing that can stop us," he said at an event in Arizona late Thursday night. In 2020, Trump prematurely declared victory from the White House. He launched a legal and political effort to overturn his loss to Democrat Joe Biden that culminated in the storming of the Capitol by his supporters on Jan. 6, 2021. Democrats fear he may do the same thing this year before the race is called. He wouldn't answer a question Friday in ...

Will end economic disaster of Kamala Harris, launch new miracle: Trump

Describing the economic policies of Vice President Kamala Harris as a disaster, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Friday said he would launch a brand new economic miracle after he wins the elections. Trump promised to build American, buy American, and hire American. "We will end Kamala's economic disaster and launch a brand-new Trump economic miracle," Trump said at a campaign rally in Detroit, Michigan, a battleground State where he is slated to hold his last rally on Monday night. He said Harris' failed economic agenda wiped out nearly 30,000 private sector jobs just recently, and nearly 50,000 manufacturing jobs just over the last short period of time. "You lost 50,000 manufacturing jobs." Trump alleged that under Harris' "nation-wrecking policies, the American worker is absolutely drowning. You're drowning". "Kamala is a radical left Marxist, rated even worse than crazy Bernie Sanders and Pocahontas herself. She destroyed our economy. She was an original creato

Trump pits Americans against one another, US deserves better: Kamala Harris

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump pits Americans against one another, his Democratic rival and Vice President Kamala Harris alleged Friday and asserted her pledge to pursue common sense solutions and to be a president for all Americans. "America deserves better than what Donald Trump is offering. America deserves a president who understands our role and responsibility to our people and to the rest of the world to be a model," she said. Campaigning in the presidential elections entered the last few days with both Harris and Trump making closing arguments before voters in the key swing states. "As you have heard me say many a times, my pledge to the American people is to pursue common sense solutions, to listen to those, even those who disagree with me, to listen to experts, and to be a president for all Americans, Harris told reporters in Wisconsin. "Donald Trump's closing argument is very different. He pits Americans against one another. He spends full time having ...

Secret Service report reveals details on failures in Trump attack attempt

A new Secret Service report into the July assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump said multiple staffers knew about clear line-of-sight risks but found them acceptable and that farm equipment intended to obstruct the view from the nearby building where the gunman opened fire was never used. The internal review released Friday is the latest in a list of reports and investigations into the July 13 shooting at a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, which killed one rallygoer and wounded two others. Trump was shot in the ear before being hustled off the stage. A Secret Service counter-sniper shot and killed the gunman, Thomas Crooks. A classified version of the report, done by the agency's Office of Professional Responsibility, was shared with members of Congress, while a seven-page unclassified synopsis was released publicly Friday. An early version of the agency's investigation into its own conduct was released in September. The report largely echoed the findings

Trump, Harris host rallies in Milwaukee in final push to win Wisconsin

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump will host rallies within 7 miles of each other Friday night in the Milwaukee area as part of a fevered final push for votes in swing-state Wisconsin's largest county. Milwaukee is home to the most Democratic votes in Wisconsin, but its conservative suburbs are where most Republicans live and are a critical area for Trump as he tries to reclaim the state he narrowly won in 2016 and lost in 2020. One reason for his defeat was a drop in support in those Milwaukee suburbs and an increase in Democratic votes in the city. Both candidates recognize that the road to the White House runs directly through Milwaukee County, said Hilario Deleon, chair of the county's Republican Party. The dueling rallies Trump is in downtown Milwaukee and Harris is in a suburb may be the candidates' last appearances in Wisconsin before Election Day. Both sides say the race is once again razor tight for the state's 10 electoral votes. Four of the .

Elon Musk tests role of money in US polls with efforts to back Trump

Next week's presidential election isn't just a referendum on Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. It's also a measure of the influence the world's richest man wields over American democracy. Elon Musk, the South African-born tech and business titan, has spent at least USD 119 million mobilising Trump's supporters to back the Republican nominee. His social media platform, X, has become a firehose of pro-Trump propaganda. And he's playing a starring role in Trump-style rallies in critical battleground states. All the while, he's coming under growing scrutiny. He skipped a hearing on Thursday in a lawsuit over his effort to dole out millions of dollars to registered voters, a giveaway legal experts liken to vote buying. He's being investigated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. And The Wall Street Journal recently reported that Musk regularly communicates with Russian President Vladimir Putin, a potential national security risk because SpaceX, his aerospace company, holds billions of
