US Presidential Election Results 2024 Highlights: Trump, Harris close out campaigns with star-studded rallies in swing states

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump will likely spend the very early hours of Election Day in Michigan, where he is scheduled to hold a final late-night rally in Grand Rapids as has become his tradition, according to news agency PTI.

The Republican candidate plans to spend the rest of the day in Florida, where he is expected to vote in person. He's scheduled to hold a campaign watch party in Palm Beach Tuesday night, PTI report stated.

Meanwhile, according to the report, Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris plans to attend an Election Night party at Howard University in Washington,

Howard is a historically Black university from where Harris graduated with a degree in economics and political science in 1986 and was an active member of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, PTI highlighted. (PTI)

Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris will become the first female president in the United States' 248-year history if she wins the elections.

She would also be the first Black woman and person of South Asian descent to hold the White House.

Harris and her campaign have largely played down gender and race, fearing that they might alienate some supporters. But the significance of a Harris win would not be lost on historians, as news agency PTI states.

On the other hand, Trump's victory would represent a different kind of historical accomplishment. He would become the first person convicted of a felony elected to the US presidency, having been convicted of 34 felony counts in a New York hush-money case little more than five months ago, PTI noted.

As the United States enters the last day of the extraordinary presidential race between Republican nominee Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, here's an opinion article by Dipankar Gupta on why the former President has an edge over Harris -

"To argue that Kamala will protect democracy is too convoluted to casually pass around as America has had free and fair elections for centuries. To insist, in addition, that the Democrats alone can unify the country appears vague to the majority. The White population, in particular, already feels quite unified in the USA," Gupta writes.

"Trump is back, and on top, largely because his solutions are easy and crisp. To create jobs in America, his quick answer is to raise US tariffs so high that the Chinese get altitude sickness," he adds in his article.
