Feeling good about early voting in US battleground states: Harris Campaign

As tens of millions of Americans cast their votes in the presidential election, the Kamala Harris Campaign said it felt good about early voting in the Keystone state of Pennsylvania and other battleground states. With Pennsylvania emerging as the most critical of the seven swing states with 19 electoral college votes, Harris spent the final few hours of her canvassing in the state and even went door-knocking in some residential areas. Vice President Harris, whose mother is from India, is locked in a historically tight electoral contest with Republican leader Donald Trump in the race for the White House to succeed President Joe Biden. Listen, we feel good about what we're seeing in Pennsylvania and across the battleground states, Harris' communications director Michael Tyler said. I think when you look at the early vote data, yes, there has been a mode shift because Republicans they used to disparage early voting and claim it was fraud, Tyler told Fox News. They have now embraced

Trump, Harris rack up early wins as America awaits battleground results

Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris notched early wins in reliably Republican and Democratic states, respectively, as a divided America made its decision in a stark choice for the nation's future Tuesday. Polls closed in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin and North Carolina, six of the seven closely fought battlegrounds expected to decide the election, but the results there were too early to call. Balloting continued in Nevada and other parts of the West on Election Day, as tens of millions of Americans added their ballots to the 84 million cast early as they chose between two candidates with drastically different temperaments and visions for the country. Trump won Florida, a one-time battleground that has shifted heavily to Republicans in recent elections. He also notched early wins in reliably Republican states such as Texas, South Carolina and Indiana, while Harris took Democratic strongholds like New York, Massachusetts and Illinois.

US Election Day voting unfolds smoothly with some scattered issues, delays

Election Day voting unfolded largely smoothly across the nation Tuesday with only scattered reports of delays from extreme weather, ballot printing errors and technical problems. Most of the hiccups occurring by midday were largely expected routine and planned-for events, said Cait Conley, senior adviser to the director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, in a press briefing. She said the agency was not currently tracking any national, significant incidents impacting election security. In swing-state Pennsylvania, early reports that Republican poll watchers were not allowed into some polling sites were soon resolved. A Pennsylvania state judge ordered polls to remain open for two extra hours in Cambria County, which voted 68 per cent for former President Donald Trump in 2020. The county sought the extension after a software malfunction affected ballot-scanning machines, though county officials confirmed no one was turned away from the polls and said all ballots .

What is Electoral College and how does US use it to elect presidents?

Donald Trump won the presidency in 2016 because of the Electoral College. So did George W. Bush in 2000. The Electoral College is the unique American system of electing presidents. It is different from the popular vote, and it has an outsize impact on how candidates run and win campaigns. Republicans Trump and Bush lost the popular vote during their presidential runs but won the Electoral College to claim the nation's top office. Some Democrats charge that the system favours Republicans and they would rather the United States elect presidents by a simple majority vote. But the country's framers set up the system in the Constitution, and it would require a constitutional amendment to change. A look at the Electoral College and how it works, as Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for president, compete for the White House on Election Day, November 5. What is the Electoral College? The Electoral College is a 538-member body that elects a president. The fram

US election: Results come in from some states; voting continues in others

The first results are coming in for the US presidential election with Republican leader Donald Trump projected to notch up wins in Indiana, Kentucky and West Virginia and Vice President Kamala Harris winning Vermont. Voting in these states ended hours earlier. Though projections are emerging from many other states, what everyone is eagerly waiting for is possible trends from the seven battleground states which will effectively determine who will become the next American president. Trump is projected to win Alabama, Missouri, Oklahoma and Tennessee as well while Harris is racing to emerge victorious in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Massachusetts. Even if projections are coming in from some states, voting is still going on in certain other states. The US has 50 states and most of them vote for the same party in every election except the swing states. Generally, there is not much surprise over the candidates picking up victories in states other than the pivotal battleground

Stop talking about it: Donald Trump snaps at reporter on abortion question

Donald Trump is refusing to say how he voted on Florida's abortion measure and getting testy about it. The former president was asked twice after casting his ballot in Palm Beach, Florida, on Tuesday about a question that the state's voters are considering. If approved, it would prevent state lawmakers from passing any law that penalizes, prohibits, delays or restricts abortion until fetal viability which doctors say is sometime after 21 weeks. If it's rejected, the state's restrictive six-week abortion law would stand. The first time he was asked, Trump avoided answering. He said instead of the issue that he did a great job bringing it back to the states. That was a reference to the former president having appointed three conservative justices to the US Supreme Court who helped overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade decision in 2022. Pressed a second time, Trump snapped at a reporter, saying you should stop talking about it. Trump had previously indicated that he would back the meas

State of democracy, abortion, economy top issues for US voters: Exit poll

The state of democracy, the shape of the economy and abortion are the most important issues for American voters in the US presidential election, according to the first wave of exit polls. Almost six in 10 people ranked the state of democracy as their number one issue, according to polls released by CBS News. It was followed by abortion as five per cent of the voters felt it was an important issue for them. Over one in 10 chose the economy as a priority issue. Millions of Americans voted to elect the 47th President between Republican leader Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris in an election billed as one of the most consequential contests for the White House in decades.

Only about one-quarter call themselves enthusiastic or satisfied with the state of the nation, with more than four in 10 dissatisfied and roughly three in 10 saying they

Trump and Harris neck and neck in historic US Presidential election

The race between Democratic leader Kamala Harris and her Republican rival Donald Trump for the White House has been truly unprecedented as it saw drama, tragedy, political comebacks, fierce rhetoric and a historically razor-tight contest.
