U.S. Presidential Election – Record Early Voting Sets Stage for Tight Final

At the start of the U.S. Presidential Election, over 78 million Americans have cast ballots ahead of Election Day, highlighting unprecedented engagement in the closely contested race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.​​

WASHINGTON – In an election year marked by heightened public interest, early voting for the 2024 U.S. presidential election has reached historic levels, with more than 78 million Americans casting ballots before Election Day.​​ ​​This surge underscores the critical stakes as voters decide between Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican nominee former President Donald Trump.​​ ​​

​​The high turnout reflects deep national divisions and the importance of issues such as economic stability and national security, central to both campaigns’ final messages.​​ ​​Key battleground states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin remain pivotal, with each candidate focusing substantial resources to sway undecided voters.​​ ​​

​​Harris concluded her campaign with a rally in Philadelphia, emphasising unity and democratic values.​​ ​​Trump held multiple rallies across swing states, highlighting issues like border security and economic concerns.​​ ​​

​​Security measures have been heightened nationwide due to concerns over potential unrest, particularly in Washington, D.C.​​ ​​Authorities are preparing for various scenarios, including the possibility of a contested election.​​ ​​

​​The election’s outcome remains uncertain, with both candidates needing to secure key swing states to reach the required 270 electoral votes.​​ ​​The final results may take days to finalise, especially if the race is tight and legal challenges arise.​​ ​​- NMH
