US Elections 2024 LIVE: America Votes In Historic Polls To Decide Its Next President

US President Joe Biden will be following the election results from the White House, along with his senior staff members and key aides. 

Some Republicans have suggested that Biden secretly wants Trump to win, because he is still unhappy with the way he was treated by his own party. 

The Democratic nominee is expected to make a public appearance later tonight (US EST) at Howard University in Washington, D.C., where she will address supporters at her alma mater. 

After a busy day of campaigning in Pennsylvania, Harris returned to her residence, the Naval Observatory in DC,  just hours before polls opened early Tuesday morning.

Throughout the day, Harris is expected to participate in a series of last-minute "Get Out The Vote" calls to radio stations, aiming to reach Americans on their commutes who are yet to vote. Her campaign confirmed that so far, she has made calls to stations in three key battleground states: Pennsylvania, Georgia, and North Carolina, with additional calls planned.

When asked about her top priority if elected, Harris emphasized reducing the cost of living, a central concern for voters this election season. She mentioned her economic proposals on housing, healthcare, and the child tax credit during an interview on NewsRadio KDKA, and highlighted immigration reform as another critical area, acknowledging the challenges previous presidents have faced with this issue.

Millions of Americans are casting their vote today. Millions already have. Whoever wins, one of the most important stories of this election cycle has been the role Elon Musk has played. In general, the ultra-wealthy in America donate their money to a candidate they want to win, fund a PAC and that is about it. However, Elon Musk has played a more active role, than perhaps any other ultra-wealthy American.

Until a few years ago, Musk used to be a Democrat. However, times have changed. Just a day before the Election Day, Musk recorded a podcast with Joe Rogan, and urged people to go out and vote for Trump. He made the case for Trump by arguing that US won't be a real democracy anymore if Democrats win, because they will move illegal aliens to the swing states, which will ensure that Democrats win the swing state in every election, effectively ending democracy in America. 

Musk has also played a key role in the swing state of Pennsylvania, which is a crucial state. He has been overseeing the GOP's ground game in the state. Whether his efforts will bear fruit, remains to be seen. 

Voting hours in Cambria County, Pennsylvania, have been extended by two hours following a court ruling, allowing residents more time to vote after an earlier software issue disrupted the process. County commissioners requested an emergency extension, moving the closing time from 8 p.m. EST to 10 p.m. EST to address concerns that the software malfunction could disenfranchise voters.

Whilst talking to reporters at Palm Beach, Florida, after casting his vote, US President Donald Trump said that he feels “very confident”. He added that “Republicans have shown up in force. I hear we are doing very well”. 

He also said that he wants to “bring everybody in, we want to be very inclusive.”

When Donald Trump was asked if he will tell his voters not to be violent (if the results are not favorable to GOP), he responded by saying “I don’t have to tell them that there’ll be no violence. Of course there will be no violence. I certainly don’t want any violence, but I certainly don’t have to tell [these] great people,” he said. 

He said that his supporters “are not violent people … these are people that believe in no violence.”

Donald Trump arrived in Palm Beach, Florida, along with his wife Melania Trump, to cast his vote. He said he was happy to see the long lines. “This is the best campaign we have run,” he said. 

Former US President Donald Trump, after casting his vote in Florida, said that he thinks his team has done a great job. He also added that “if I loose the election and it is fair, I will be the first one to accept the result”.

US Elections 2024 Live: There is a tough neck-and-neck fight between the Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and the Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris. As of November 3, Harris had a narrow lead over Trump according to the US National Polls and all eyes are on the results, to see if Donald Trump becomes the US President for the second time or Kamala Harris scripts history to become the first female President of United States.

US Elections 2024 Live: How US President Is Elected?

United States Parliament or Capitol which is called Congress has two bodies:

• House of Representatives | Lower Body
• House of Senate | Upper Body 

They Sit at United States Capitol in Washington, D.C.

• Members in lower body — House of Representatives —  are chosen through direct election, through citizens vote.
• Members in the Senate may be filled by a Governor's appointment.

US Congress has 538 voting members — 438 representatives and 100 senators, electoral votes increase or decrease depending on state’s population.

How President is elected?

• US Presidential candidate must secure a minimum of 270 electoral votes out of a total 538.
• One electoral vote is equal to member of the Congress a particular state has in America.
• For example, in India, every state has parliamentary seats, total of which is 543. To win election, one must secure halfway mark of 272.
• In the same way, in United States, each state has a specific electoral votes.
• US citizens don’t directly vote for Presidential candidates but for members representing major political parties.
• One member is equal to one electoral vote.
• So, whichever candidate gets the majority of 270 electoral votes, that particular candidate becomes the president-elect.
• All electoral votes go to the overall winner of the statewide popular vote, except in two states Maine and Nebraska.
• In these 2 states, electoral votes are based on winner of the popular vote in each congressional district and two additional votes go to winner of statewide popular vote.

To simplify

• One member of the Congress or electoral vote is equivalent to Member of the Parliament in India.

US Elections 2024 Live: 1. Trade Policy

• Kamala Harris: Advocates for multilateral trade agreements and regional collaborations, such as the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework. She is likely to renew the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP), which had previously benefited Indian exports.
• Donald Trump: Favors protectionism, focusing on renegotiating trade deals and imposing heavy tariffs. The termination of GSP in 2019 adversely affected $6.3 billion worth of Indian exports.

Implications:

• Harris's policies are expected to stabilize trade with India, while Trump’s approach may disrupt global trade but provide opportunities for India to fill gaps left by reduced Chinese imports.

2. Immigration Policy

• Kamala Harris: Supports expanding skilled worker visas, evidenced by high approval rates for H-1B visas during Biden's tenure.
• Donald Trump: Plans to tighten immigration rules, leading to a decline in H-1B visa approvals, which previously fell under his administration.

Implications:

Harris’s approach is favorable for India's IT services, while stricter immigration norms under Trump may adversely affect unskilled workers but could leave IT services largely unaffected. Historically, Democratic administrations have demonstrated a more favorable environment for H1-B approvals, achieving an average approval rate of 94.6%. In contrast, Republican presidents have overseen an average approval rate of 90.7% for H1-B applications.

3. Energy and Environment

• Kamala Harris: Proposes significant incentives for renewable energy, aligning with India’s goals to reduce fossil fuel dependence.
• Donald Trump: Prioritizes traditional energy sources and plans to revoke environmental regulations.

Implications:

Harris's policies would support India’s renewable energy initiatives, while Trump's focus on fossil fuels may result in lower global crude prices, beneficial for India's import needs.

4. Defence Relations

• Kamala Harris: Emphasizes strengthening Indo-Pacific partnerships and technology transfer.
• Donald Trump: Revived the Quad partnership and increased India’s defence imports through arms sales.

Implications:

Harris's focus could enhance India’s technological capabilities and align with US strategic interests, while Trump’s policies may boost defense imports but limit co-production initiatives.

5. Healthcare and Pharmaceuticals

• Kamala Harris: Aims to expand Medicare and lower drug prices through government negotiation with pharmaceutical companies.
• Donald Trump: Seeks to privatize Medicare and reduce government intervention in drug pricing.

Implications:

Harris’s healthcare policies could favor Indian generics if Medicare expands coverage, while Trump’s deregulation might enhance market penetration for Indian pharmaceuticals.

US Elections 2024 LIVE: As the US election for the presidency draws to a close, the outcome will have important effects not just for America, but also for economies around the world, especially India. The clear differences in policies between Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and Republican candidate Donald Trump are likely to impact several sectors in India. Read the full story here. 

Polls have now opened in Arkansas, bringing the total number of U.S. states holding elections today to nearly 30. Arkansas, with six electoral votes, joins other states like Mississippi and North Dakota, which began voting earlier today. Arkansas has fewer electoral votes compared to larger states like California (54) and New York (28). 

Notorious former mafia boss-turned-witness Salvatore “Sammy the Bull” Gravano praised Donald Trump calling him a "gangster". In a video, shared on his YouTube account, he talked about the time he tried to bribe Trump.

US Elections 2024 Live: Polls have officially opened in over 25 states for the 2024 US elections, including Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, and Pennsylvania, with varying opening times depending on the region. Voters across states like Connecticut, Indiana, Kentucky, and New Jersey can now head to their polling stations to cast their ballots. 

There was a tie between the two US presidential candidates, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump in New Hampshire. 

US Elections 2024 results will begin rolling in on the night of November 5. According to the Indian time, the results might be announced at around 6 am on November 6. 

The voting for the US Presidential election will close at 6pm on Tuesday (4:30 am on Wednesday IST). However, the process of tallying the ballots will take longer and last well beyond election night. 

Kamla Harris’ ancestral village in Thulasendrapuram, Tamil Nadu, her supporters are praying for her win

Trump on Tuesday claimed that he has attended more than 900 rallies in 2024 

Russia-linked disinformation operations have falsely claimed officials in battleground states plan to fraudulently sway the outcome of the US presidential election, authorities said a few hours ahead of the opening of polling booths in the 5 November vote.

During the final rally of his campaign, former President Donald Trump asserted that his true opponent in this election was not Vice President Kamala Harris but rather “an evil Democrat system.”

“We will defeat the corrupt system in Washington. Because I’m not running against Kamala, I’m running against an evil Democrat system. These are evil people,” Trump stated at his rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, which began well after midnight.

“The silent majority is back and tomorrow you need to get out and vote,” he urged.

“This has been an incredible journey. And it’s very sad in a way, because, you know, we’ve done all these, and this is the last one, but here’s the good news, all we were doing is putting ourselves in a position to win, which we can do tomorrow very easily if we show up,” he added.

In a presidential election that couldn’t be closer, it seemed fitting that the first votes cast on Election Day were evenly split, with three for Donald Trump and three for Kamala Harris.

The tiny New Hampshire resort town Dixville Notch has a tradition that dates back to 1960 for being the first in the nation to complete in-person voting. After a rousing accordion version of the national anthem, the town’s six voters began casting their ballots at the stroke of midnight and the vote count was complete 15 minutes later.

As the clock nears 2:10 AM in Michigan, Trump has wrapped up his final rally in Grand Rapids. He covered a variety of topics, including his commitments to defend religious liberty, uphold the right to bear arms, “keep men out of women’s sports,” and enhance border security. He declared:

“We will never ever surrender, together we will fight fight fight and we will win win win! … November 5, today, will be the most important day in the history of our country.”

He concluded his address with a message of gratitude:

“I love you all, God bless you, God bless you Michigan, God bless the United States of America!” before dancing out to the tune of "YMCA."

Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump take the mic next, urging people to get out and vote.

“You are going to save democracy in the United States and keep peace in the world,” Eric says of his father.

Tiffany then shares a few brief words before Trump returns to the stage. “They’re my kids but I’ll tell you they’re very good people,” he says.

Trump has now invited his family to the stage, including his sons Eric and Donald Jr., Tiffany Trump and her husband Michael Boulos, as well as Eric's wife, Lara, who serves as co-chair of the National Republican Committee. However, his daughter Ivanka Trump, who was a White House advisor during his first term, and his wife Melania were notably absent.

At a Michigan rally, Trump revisited familiar criticisms of Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton, remarking, “She called me and conceded [presumably eight years ago] and then spent seven years saying how she was a good sport.”

He then labeled Harris a “low IQ person” before launching into a lengthy story about Elon Musk and his rockets.

Trump spoke at length about the July assassination attempt against him in Pennsylvania, calling his survival a “miracle.” He mentioned, somewhat cryptically, that “illegal immigration saved me,” though the connection was unclear.

He then shared an anecdote about visiting Abraham Lincoln’s bedroom with Melania Trump, noting that Lincoln, whom he described as suffering from “melancholia,” was “very tall, he was six foot six, that’s the equivalent of a Barron Trump today … the bed was very long.”

After a few comments on Melania’s book, he returned to discussing the attempt on his life.

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have tied with three votes each in the tiny New Hampshire town which traditionally kicks off voting on election day.

In Michigan, Trump claimed to have held 930 rallies during his campaign. He said, “If you make one slip up and you know I wrote a beautiful speech I haven’t even gotten to it yet ... rarely do they ever catch me making a mistake!”

At a rally in Michigan, Trump reflected on his first election campaign, stating, “we were given a three per cent chance” in the state. He then launched into a series of remarks about Detroit, saying, “I’ve heard a lot about Detroit,” and added, “We killed the plant in Mexico,” though it was unclear what he was referring to.

Shifting his focus to immigration, he claimed the U.S. was facing “the invasion of some of the biggest criminals in the world… we’re going to end that immediately.”

“We don’t have to live this way,” he asserted.

Trump then turned his attention to Kamala Harris, mocking her and claiming, “Nobody knew who the hell she was.” He followed this with additional inflammatory remarks regarding transgender individuals.

Among the speakers to open for a Trump rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, were two Muslim mayors of cities in metro Detroit with large Arab American populations.

Hamtramck Mayor Amer Ghalib and Dearborn Heights Mayor Bill Bazzi, both of whom are Democrats but have endorsed Trump, each called on Arab Americans to support Trump.

“My message to my fellow Arab and Muslim Americans, your votes in this swing state will change the face of America and your votes will decide the future of America,” said Ghalib.

Trump is hoping to capitalize on the unrest in metro Detroit, home to the nation’s largest Arab American community that has been upset with the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war.

Bazzi, who has faced pushback from some in his community, said that he would rather “lose my election than have a bunch of warmongers win the election.”

Women will be the group to soundly reject former President Donald Trump on Election Day, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said at the final rally of his campaign Monday night in Detroit.

“Folks, this is getting pretty simple now: Kamala and I trust women,” Walz said. “Now tomorrow, women all across America, of every age, both parties, are going to send a loud, clear message to Donald Trump, whether he likes it or not.”

The comment is a callback to Trump telling an audience in Green Bay, Wisconsin, last week that he would protect women as president “whether the women like it or not. I am going to protect them.” Trump acknowledged during the comment that his top aides urged him not to call himself a protector because it is “inappropriate.”

Walz’s comment also hints at numerous polls that show a large gender gap in the 2024 race, with women leaning toward Harris and Walz and men leaning toward Trump and his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance.

Ohio Sen. JD Vance, Trump’s running mate, has referred to Kamala Harris as “trash.”

Speaking Monday in Atlanta, Vance ripped Harris by referencing a comment made by President Joe Biden suggesting that Trump supporters were “garbage.” Biden, in turn, was responding to a joke by comic Tony Hinchcliffe at Trump’s recent Madison Square Garden rally in which Hinchcliffe likened Puerto Rico to a “floating island of garbage.”

The Trump campaign has faced days of criticism from Harris allies over Hinchcliffe’s joke. It has focused on Biden’s reference to Trump supporters instead.

Vance told the Atlanta audience that Americans should not be called “garbage” for supporting border restrictions or “wanting to be able to afford groceries.”

“In two days, we are going to take out the trash in Washington, D.C., and the trash’s name is Kamala Harris,” he said.

The comment stirred anger among Harris allies online. Levar Stoney, the mayor of Richmond, Virginia, said Vance had “made one of the worst mistakes of his political career.”

Harris and Trump’s differences have long been clear. But on Monday night in Pittsburgh, their dueling rallies drove home just how large the gulf between them truly is.

Only 9 miles (14 kilometers) separated the two in the key Pennsylvania city. Trump spoke at PPG Paints Arena, home to the Pittsburgh Penguins, in one of his standard arena rally setups. Harris spoke at Carrie Furnaces, a historic steel facility with an event that nodded to Pittsburgh’s place as the heart of the country’s steel industry.

Harris spoke for 10 minutes. Trump spoke for 950% more, clocking in an hour and 45 minutes.

Harris was introduced by comedian Cedric the Entertainer and seen off by a performance from artist Katy Perry. Trump brought conservative commentator Megyn Kelly on stage and touted the support of Roberto Clemente Jr., the son of the famed Pittsburgh Pirate outfielder.

Harris is closing her campaign by barely mentioning Trump directly. “This is it,” Harris said at her event. “Tomorrow is Election Day, and the momentum is on our side.”

Trump repeatedly invoked Harris — and her nearby rally.

“If you vote for Kamala, you will have four more years of misery, failure, and disaster, and our country may never recover,” Trump told his audience, earning boos. Later, he added, “Kamala has a little rally going on. And when I say little, I mean little.”

With the results of Tuesday’s election potentially taking days to become clear, the Harris campaign is inviting top donors to an election briefing on Wednesday, in addition to her election night watch party on Tuesday evening.

A person familiar with the matter confirmed the plan, which was first reported by The New York Times on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the matter.

Trump has wrapped up his speech in Pittsburgh, where he spoke for an hour and 45 minutes. He mimed hitting a baseball between dancing to Village People’s “YMCA,” the song that closes all his rallies.

Trump invited several of his children on stage as he spoke nostalgically about the end of his campaign. He told a story about his youngest son, Barron Trump, teaching him about technology.

“Do I have good kids?” Trump said to loud cheers. “Are my kids here? Where are my kids?”

He was joined on stage by Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and his wife Lara, along with Tiffany Trump and her husband. He said Barron was watching from home and Ivanka Trump “loves the whole thing.”

Several of Trump’s children joined him on stage at another rally earlier Monday in Reading, Pennsylvania.

“It’s sad because we’ve been doing this for nine years,” Trump said in Pittsburgh after inviting members of his family to join him on stage.

Trump is holding his second-to-last rally of the 2024 election — and says he’ll be done once this ends. His rallies became a cultural phenomenon during his 2015 campaign, drawing thousands of people who often camped out overnight or waited for hours in freezing cold or blazing heat.

“I have one left. And remember the rallies are the most exciting thing. There’ll never be rallies like this,” he said. “This is never going to happen again.”

Trump says this will be his last campaign for the White House — and he’s finishing it just as he started his first.

He is leaning into hardline immigration rhetoric and vowing to “liberate” the country from what he describes as an “occupation.”

It’s rhetoric that has animated his core supporters since he declared his candidacy for the Republican nomination — and that still earns him some of his loudest applause. His call for the death penalty for any migrant who kills a U.S. citizen drew hoots and whistles and a “USA!” chant.

At his recent rallies, Trump has been invoking “Barack Hussein Obama,” emphasizing his predecessor’s middle name.

Obama’s critics frequently used his middle name during his presidency along with other ways to make him appear foreign. Trump was a leading proponent of the “birther” conspiracy.

Trump claimed he got more votes in his 2020 reelection campaign than he did four years earlier.

“I mean, Obama, Barack Hussein Obama, he didn’t do that,” Trump said.

He has also recently used the middle name while saying Obama was a divisive president.

Harris projected the confidence her campaign is feeling at the penultimate event of her presidential run, telling an audience on Monday night in Pittsburgh that “the momentum is on our side.”

“This is it,” Harris said with Carrie Furnaces behind her, a historic steel facility that nodded to Pittsburgh’s history as the heart of the country’s steel industry. “Tomorrow is Election Day, and the momentum is on our side.”

“We must finish strong,” Harris added. “Make no mistake, we will win.”

This is not Harris’ final stop of the night. She will head to Philadelphia for the final event of her campaign.

Harris urged her supporters not to be shy about asking people in their lives to get out and vote.

“Pittsburgh, listen, we’ve got one day left to get this done,” Harris said in the penultimate speech of her campaign. “So now we work to get out the vote. Let’s reach out in these next 24 hours to family and friends and classmates and neighbors and coworkers.”

Harris’ remarks were notably short in Pittsburgh. She spoke for under 10 minutes before singer Katy Perry took the stage to perform.

“I am asking for your vote,” Harris said, adding later, “Your vote is your voice and your voice is your power.”

Harris now travels to Philadelphia for the final rally of her campaign.

Trump touted the endorsement of Roberto Clemente Jr., the son of the MLB Hall of Famer Roberto Clemente, a prominent Puerto Rican who played for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Trump hopes Clemente Jr.’s backing can help him with Hispanic voters after a comic’s joke at his Madison Square Garden rally offended many Puerto Ricans.

“My father, the name Clemente, what it means is goodwill and unity,” Clemente said at Trump’s Pittsburgh rally. “I believe that your team is going to bring it all home.”

Clemente said he wants to help Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who Trump says will have virtually free reign to oversee health programs despite his history of promoting theories that contradict the overwhelming consensus of scientists.

Trump called the endorsement “a great honor.” Clemente Jr. had his own brief MLB career.

Perry, who is from Harris’ home state of California, says that Daisy, her daughter with actor Orlando Bloom, is “the reason I am voting for Kamala Harris.”

“I’ve known Kamala since before she was a senator,” the singer said. “I’ve always known her to fight for the most vulnerable, to speak up for the voiceless. To protect our rights as women to make decisions about our own bodies, yeah! Go figure! I know she will protect my daughter’s future, and your children’s future.”

She then sang “The Greatest Love of All,” originally by George Benson but best known for Whitney Houston’s version, which begins, “I believe the children are our future,” blending it into her 2010 hit “Firework.”

A Pennsylvania judge ruled Monday that Elon Musk’s daily $1 million giveaway to voters can continue, in a victory for the tech billionaire, though the sweepstakes is set to end Tuesday on Election Day.

Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas Judge Angelo Foglietta rejected arguments from the city’s district attorney, Larry Krasner, who argued that the sweepstakes was an illegal lottery that violated state law and must be halted immediately.

In Pittsburgh, Donald Trump, sounding hoarse and appearing more orange-faced than ever, began his final Pennsylvania rally by revisiting his favorite topic: crowd sizes.

Speaking to a near-capacity crowd, Trump pointed out that rival Kamala Harris was also holding a rally in the city that night. Though Harris’s event had not yet started, Trump brazenly claimed, “It’s quite embarrassing, it’s all over the internet, she’s screaming and the people – there’s about a hundred people – they’re not moving, they just want to go home, just be done with it.”

Stretching his arms wide, he added: “It’s not quite this!”

Trump also mocked Harris’s recent joint appearance in Houston with singer Beyoncé, whose name drew angry boos from the crowd. He stated, “There were no songs, there was no happiness, it was just like, ‘Give me my cheque, I want to get out of here.’”

He falsely claimed: “They booed both of them the hell out of the stadium.”

In Pittsburgh, Trump is expressing his frustrations with Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff, who led the first impeachment trial against him. Schiff is expected to easily win the U.S. Senate race in California, where he is up against Steve Garvey, a Republican former baseball player with no political experience.

Garvey, however, is not a strong Trump supporter; he has declined to state whether he plans to vote for Trump in the California primary.

It seems likely that some Republican members of Congress would prefer Trump use this primetime speech to discuss their competitive races rather than focus on an unwinnable Senate race in California.

Former President Donald Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, is speaking at a rally in Newton, Pennsylvania. On Monday, the Republican senator from Ohio visited key battleground states, engaging with supporters in Atlanta, Georgia; Flint, Michigan; and La Crosse, Wisconsin.

Harris went canvassing in Pennsylvania on the eve of Election Day, visiting two homes in Reading as she campaigned throughout the state. Harris, and the considerable motorcade she travels in, pulled up to a home where three people waited for the Democratic nominee.

“Hi guys,” Harris said.

“Oh my God,” said the family, seeing the vice president on their porch.

“Sorry for the intrusion,” Harris added. The family said they planned to vote on Tuesday morning and that they had made up their minds, but they did not say who they were backing.

Washington state officially hit the milestone of 5 million registered voters on Monday, according to the Secretary of State’s Office. On Oct. 28, the final day for online and mail registrations, 10,059 voters registered, setting a state record for online registrations in a single day. Eligible voters can still register or update their registration in person at voting centers until 8 p.m. on Election Day.

As of Oct. 31, nearly 2 million Washington voters had already returned their ballots.
