Trump, Harris make last push on final campaign day ahead of election day

Former president Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris hit key battleground states on the final full day of campaigning in their last push ahead of the big election day for the top post in the White House. Harris, 60, is the Democratic presidential candidate, while Trump, 78, is her Republican rival. More than 78 million Americans have already cast their votes as of Monday, according to the University of Florida's Election Lab that tracks early and mail-in voting across the US. The vice president spent her entire day in Pennsylvania holding five rallies with the last one scheduled to be held in Philadelphia as late as 11 pm. Pennsylvania and Michigan are considered to be the ground zero for the 2024 presidential elections. Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, North Carolina and Georgia are the other five battleground states.

US going to unprecedented polls as battle between Trump, Harris escalates

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. As the fight reaches its crescendo with the big election day just a few hours away, many political observers billed the unpredictable race for the 47th President of the US as the most consequential one in decades while appearing to project a grim picture for the country's future under a Trump presidency. In her final days of campaign, Vice President Harris focused on a message of hope, unity, optimism and women rights whereas Trump remained fiercely combative in targeting his Democratic rival and even suggested that he may not accept the election outcome in case of a defeat. Overall, it has been a roller coaster ride for both 60-year-old Harris and 78-year-old Trump. Trump received his party's nomination in March and formally at the Republican ...

US elections: Democrats facing massive turnout deficit, says Trump Campaign

The early voting figures indicate that the ruling Democratic Party is facing a massive turnout deficit, the Trump Campaign claimed on Monday. By Monday, more than 80 million registered voters have exercised their right to franchise and in some of the key battleground states, more than 50 per cent of the electors had already voted. Early voting is considered to be advantageous to the Democratic Party given the past trend of the last two election cycles. The Trump Campaign in a confidential memo argued that that might not be the case this time. With early voting closed and election day on the horizon, Democrats are facing a massive turnout deficit. In every single battleground state, we see President Trump and Republicans outperforming elections past in absentee ballots and early votes cast. "As we dive deeper into the data, Democrats are facing a precipitous decline in urban turnout according to their own data experts' and we are tracking an uptick in rural turnout, said the ...

Abortion rights issue influencing Indian American women's voting preference

In the upcoming US presidential election, the issue of abortion rights is emerging as a significant factor that is influencing Indian American women's voting preferences. This demographic group, which is a part of the second-largest immigrant community in the United States, is showing a strong inclination towards supporting candidates who advocate for reproductive rights. Meeta Damani, an Indian American documentary filmmaker living in the New Jersey area, has been working in the community with a particular focus on women and children. It is a crucial issue for both men and women in the Indian American community as well. It is interconnected like if there is a woman and the child is going to be born unhealthy, that is going to affect the entire family. At the end of the day, it is about freedom and one's choice. I feel the women voters will make their voice very clear, she said. Looking at the clarity of thought on this subject among Indian American women, it is not a surprise that

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. More than 75 million Americans have already cast their votes as of Sunday, according to the Unive

I see a nation determined to turn page on hatred, and division: Harris

Winding down her election campaign Sunday, Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris said that during her travel across the nation she could see people determined to turn the page on hatred and division, and chart a new way forward. "Here is what feeds my spirit as I travel across our beautiful nation from state to state and from church to church. I see faith in action in remarkable ways. I see a nation determined to turn the page on hatred and division and chart a new way forward," Harris said in her speech at a church in Detroit, Michigan, a battleground state. She said that during her campaign, she found that Americans from the so-called red states and the so-called blue states are ready to bend the arc of history toward justice. "I see an incredible number of our young people, our young leaders. Oh! It would inspire you to see how they are organizing for change. What I love about that generation, they are quite impatient in a most wonderful way. As I travel our nation, I s

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.

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
