With just hours remaining before Election Day, the race for the US Presidency is a nail-biter. Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are making final appeals to voters in crucial battleground states, hoping to secure the necessary Electoral College votes to claim victory.
The outcome is expected to hinge on seven key states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. These states hold the potential to deliver the 270 Electoral College votes needed for a candidate to win the presidency.
Harris and Trump are not the only contenders. Libertarian Chase Oliver and Green Party candidate Jill Stein are also in the race, along with Independent candidate Cornel West. However, the contest is widely considered a two-horse race between the Democratic and Republican nominees.
Early voting has already seen a record number of Americans cast their ballots, exceeding 68 million. Millions more are expected to vote in person on Tuesday, November 5, making this election one of the most closely watched in history.
Opinion polls show an incredibly tight race, with both candidates neck-and-neck in the key states. While Harris leads in some polls, Trump maintains a strong presence in others, making the final outcome unpredictable.
