Americans voted, the world is waiting for the election results
By the time you look at this newspaper in the morning, if all goes well, voting in the United States presidential election will be over. Then the whole world will be waiting to see the election results. Not only the United States, but several relevant issues have made this election the most contested in US history important for the entire world.
International media including BBC, CNN, Al Jazeera have ‘live broadcast’ the news of the US presidential election. It showed that the first voting started yesterday in the state of Vermont. Voting began immediately at 5 am local time in the country’s eastern coastal state. Voting began in at least 10 states by 8 am local time. Over the next few hours, polling stations opened across the country. The latest polling began in the state of Hawaii. Long queues of voters have been observed since morning in some states. Enthusiasm among the voters was huge. Voters line up with umbrellas in Texas rain
wait Earlier in the day, Trump’s running mate JD Vance cast his ballot in Ohio. Two hours later, Donald Trump voted in Palm Beach, Florida. His wife Melania was also with him at that time. Supporters were already there waiting for Trump. At this time, Trump said, he is very optimistic about winning. He also said, I heard, we are doing very well. On the other hand, the Democrat candidate, Kamala Harris, has already cast her vote by mail. However, in a radio interview yesterday, he urged Americans to get out of their homes and vote.
No major incident was reported until the last news about the election. However, an election worker has been detained in Georgia for making bomb threats. The Trump campaign, on the other hand, alleged that four poll workers were illegally kicked out of a polling station in Philadelphia. Voting extended in Pennsylvania due to technical glitches. However, the US intelligence agency FBI, CIA said in a joint statement that the adversaries of the United States, including Russia, are trying to interfere in this election. The statement also said that their goal is to divide Americans by questioning the election. 7 lakh 84 thousand election workers have been appointed for the purpose of polling. This year, a record number of over 82 crore voters voted by post and the total number of registered voters is over 24 crore 40 lakh.
The results of the poll show that while Orange is ahead by one point nationally, Trump is slightly ahead in swing states. But the margin in both cases is so narrow that observers say the two candidates have a ‘fifty-fifty’ chance of winning the White House. Such a battle has not been seen in the recent history of the United States. Similar indications have been found in a small center at Dixville Notch in New Hampshire. There, Trump and Kamala are on equal footing with 3 votes each.
In addition to the two presidential candidates in this election, Tim Walz is running as Kamal’s running mate and JD Vance is running as Trump’s running mate. At the same time polling was held in 34 out of 100 Senate seats. In addition, US voters will support the candidates for 435 seats in the US House of Representatives. Although there are other candidates in the election, all eyes are fixed on Orange-Trump.
The US president is not directly elected by the people. The general electorate basically elects the representatives with their support to elect the president. There are 538 Electoral College votes in the 50 states of the United States. A candidate needs 270 electoral votes to win the presidency.
Both the candidates have expressed hope of victory after a busy election campaign. Local time on Monday, both candidates ended their campaign by seeking votes from citizens. The economy, foreign affairs, illegal immigration, abortion rights, the climate, the war in Gaza and Ukraine are expected to have a major impact on voters in this election. Kamala is leading on some issues, while some issues are working for Trump. For good reason, it’s hard for anyone to predict who the next president of the United States will be after the election results are released.
