Election Day 2024: Key Factors and Candidates to Watch in Historic Polls

This Election Day marks a pivotal moment as Americans cast their votes between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. The outcome will either see the election of the first female president or the rare feat of a former president returning to office. With over 79 million individuals having voted early or by mail, the stakes are high.

Campaigning Strategies and Poll Results

Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, along with Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, have been vigorously campaigning across the nation leading up to this day. The most recent polls indicate a fiercely contested race, marked by a noticeable gender divide. Additionally, Trump and his supporters have raised concerns about potential election fraud, echoing false claims of a stolen 2020 election, thereby casting doubts on the integrity of the electoral process.

Implications Beyond the Presidential Race

Beyond the presidential election, the control of the House, the Senate, and several critical states hang in the balance, alongside several significant ballot measures. The outcome of this election day will not only determine the leadership of the nation but will also shape the political landscape for years to come.
