From intense voting issues, legal challenges and assassination attempt, the 2024 US presidential elections has seen them all so far. A fierce contest is being witnessed between current Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump.
If she wins, Harris will not only become the first South Asian and first woman to hold the presidency but will also represent a historic milestone for representation. A Trump win would make him the first President since Barack Obama to be re-elected after losing an election and the first Republican to achieve this since George W. Bush in 2004.
President Joe Biden has declared that Vice President Kamala Harris will “continue the fight” and be a “leader for generations” even though she lost the election to succeed him.
“She will continue the fight with purpose, determination, and joy. She will continue to be a champion for all Americans”, Biden said in a statement on Wednesday.
“Above all, she will continue to be a leader our children will look up to for generations to come as she puts her stamp on America’s future”, he said.

Voting in the US presidential election entered the final hours with millions of Americans already deciding whether to elevate Vice President Kamala Harris to helm the White House or send Republican leader Donald Trump to the top office for a second time.
The race remained stubbornly deadlocked for weeks with some of the election forecasters giving 60-year Harris an edge over former President Trump, 78, in some of the key battleground states like Pennsylvania.
The first polls are already closed in Indiana and Kentucky, two states that traditionally vote for the Republican Party.
In the next few hours, polls are set to close in the seven battleground states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin which will effectively decide who will be the 47th President of the United States.
With the voting closing in the next few hours, the people are now bracing for the much-awaited results.
