    Sharad Pawar says Ladki Bahin’s contribution to Mahayuti's victory was critical, but the jury's out on whether it was the game changer.

    On October 26, Donald Trump criticised Beyoncé’s endorsement of Kamala Harris at a rally in Texas, claiming people attended only to see her, though she did not perform.

Harris has Hollywood endorsements, including Bruce Springsteen and Julia Roberts, while Trump’s supporters include Hulk Hogan and Kid Rock.
