    US Presidential Election

    The US presidential race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris is being keenly watched across the world as the two candidates vie for the most powerful position in the world. The 60th quadrennial US presidential will be held on November 5, 2024 and the results will start trickling in the same day.

    Incumbent President Joe Biden has dropped out of the race amid concerns over his age and health. He endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, who is now the official Democratic candidate. Harris, who already made history by becoming the first female, African American, and Asian American Vice President of US, is now aiming for another unprecedented achivement - becoming the first-ever female President of the United States. Her challenger, former President Donald Trump, is determined to return to the Oval Office just four years after he was ousted from power by Biden. This will be Trump's third straight presidential election.

    Harris, who is seen as a liberal and "pragmatic moderate", aims to address key issues such as economic recovery, healthcare access, and climate change, while appealing to a diverse voter base. She also supports abortion rights and is making reproductive health care central to her presidential campaign. On the Republican side, Trump is focusing on themes of economic nationalism, border security, and a promise to "Make America Great Again." Trump remains a polarising figure, attracting a loyal following while also facing considerable opposition from within and outside his party.

    As the election approaches, various factors will influence voter sentiment, including the state of the economy, inflation rates, and foreign policy challenges. Key battleground states, including Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Arizona, are likely to play a crucial roles in determining the election outcome.

    In addition to the presidential race, voters will also cast ballots for congressional seats, gubernatorial races, and various state and local offices. The composition of Congress will be at stake, affecting the legislative landscape for the next several years.
