Finally November 5 is knocking on the door. The US presidential election is going to be held on this day. It is said that this time between the Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and the Republican Donald Trump is going to be the most consequential election in the history of the United States. Analysts say that in the fight for the votes of the two candidates, this time again, seven swing states will decide the victory or defeat. The states are—Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Both the candidates have the possibility to make history in this election. If Kamala Harris wins, she will be the first woman president in American history. She will also become the first black woman and person of South Asian descent to occupy the White House. On the other hand, if Trump wins, he will be the first US president to be convicted of a crime.
According to a report by the Associated Press, it is still uncertain when the final results will be known after the elections. Because each state has its own rules for counting ballots. This may cause delays. In 2020 i.e. the results were declared a few days after the end of voting in the last US election. This year is going to be an election of intense tension and intense competition. It is not yet certain who will be the winner. But early results from North Carolina and Georgia, among the first swing states, could provide a clue to the election's trajectory.
Trump will hold a final rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan before casting his ballot in Florida on Election Day. Kamala, on the other hand, is attending an event at Howard University the night before the election. He studied in this university.
This time both the candidates face the challenge of mobilizing their supporters. More than 77 million people have already voted. This trend in early voting indicates that Republicans are turning out in larger numbers this time than in the past. Because Republican candidate Donald Trump encouraged his supporters to vote early.
There is also concern about the possible instability after the election. Trump has already raised many complaints about the election. He claimed that he can only be defeated by cheating. Analysts believe that such statements create the fear of possible violence. In that case, the way Trump's supporters started a riot on Capitol Hill in the last election, the same thing may happen this time. However, keeping in mind the situation of the last time, this time the US law enforcement agencies are taking high precautions.
