Washington DC [US]: Christian Caryl, an American journalist on the US presidential election said that the polls are extremely close and it is “very hard to tell,” with neither candidate, Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and Republican nominee Donald Trump able to claim a clear lead.
While speaking with media, Caryl said, “It’s very hard to tell (who will win). The polls have been, not really comforting to either side. It’s still a very close race. I am afraid we don’t have a very clear picture of the polls. Trump’s side has commissioned a lot of very dubious partisan polls.”
He added, “I try to figure out things as best as I can as an observer of American politics, but it is right now very unclear. I don’t think either side can say with confidence that who is ahead right now.”
Meanwhile, security heightened in front of the Philly Art Museum in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania ahead of the rally of Harris and Tim Walz for the US presidential election 2024 scheduled to take place today.
The elected US President will serve four years in the White House starting from their inauguration on January 20, 2025.
As the US presidential elections are around the corner, supporters of Democratic candidate Kamala Harris are expressing their concerns and hopes.
On the US election, a voter who supports Kamala Harris, said, “We are very concerned about about the polls…We are hoping there will not be any violence…We are supporting Kamala Harris…”
Another supporter of Democratic Presidential candidate Kamala Harris said that he made a poster for the Democratic National Convention (DNC) and added, “I’m an artist from Los Angeles. This is the poster that I created originally for the DNC that happened in August in Chicago. I went down there and gave out a bunch of these posters and started selling them. So far, I have raised over USD 100,000 for her campaign… I hope everybody votes for Kamala.”
Meanwhile, prayers were also offered for the victory of Kamala Harris at her ancestral village, Thulasendrapuram in Tamil Nadu.
Notably, Americans are heading to the polls today to cast their ballots in the highly contested 2024 presidential election, where Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and her Republican rival, Donald Trump, are locked in a tight race.
This is the 60th presidential election in the US. It is interesting to note that there are 230 million eligible voters, but only about 160 million of them are registered. More than 70 million people have already voted through postal ballots or at early in-person polling stations.
