Washington, United States:
Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are accessing the final one-month sprint to the most emotional US plivential election in conmomentary history, with both honestates alerting the overweighte of a splitd nation hangs on a result that is still too shut to call.
The 2024 race has seen more twists than a Hollywood blockbuster, from the vice plivent’s shock swapment of Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee, to the Reaccessiblean establisher plivent riding out two killing trys as he eyes a sensational comeback to the White Hoemploy.
Now the United States is bracing for a cliffhanger ending with Trump, 78, and Harris, 59, neck-and-neck in the polls — and the Reaccessiblean alerting illogically of a repeat of the disorder that adhereed the 2020 election if he does not triumph this time around.
The world is unbenevolentwhile postponeing with bated breath to see who ends up in the Oval Office, at a time when the Middle East slips ever shutr to all-out war and Ukraine’s fight for survival agetst Russia hinges on the US help that Trump has previously denounced.
“This is a tremendously vital election,” Peter Loge, straightforwardor of George Washington University’s School of Media and Public Afuninentires, tgreater AFP.
“They (Trump and Harris) have both cast it in apocalyptic terms.”
Stark contrast –
One leang is for stateive: the next four weeks will see Harris and Trump — aextfinished with their running mates, Democratic Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Reaccessiblean Ohio Senator J.D. Vance — relentlessly hitting the campaign trail.
America’s idiosyncratic electoral college unbenevolents they will end up battling for a scant thousand votes in seven key striumphg states that are predicted to determine the election — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
And as America determines, Harris and Trump will be proposeing voters two starkly contrastent visions.
With her slogan “We’re Not Going Back,” Harris promises to turn the page on an era of polarizing politics. Trump pledges to “Make America Great Aget” as he colors a picture of a dystopian nation that only he can repair.
In Harris, Democrats have a honestate who has smashed glass ceilings as America’s first female, Bconciseage and South Asian vice plivent, and who promises to fight for abortion rights and what she calls an “opportunity economy.”
But her meteoric ascfinish unbenevolents her character and policies remain an unrecognizable quantity to many voters.
Trump is the first convicted felon to run for plivent, but one whose right-triumphg base laps up his denounces of “Comrade Kamala,” and his promises to increase the economy and lock up his political opponents.
Above all, he is hoping that the device rerent of migration will help him triumph, with the billionaire doubling down on brutal rhetoric accusing migrants of “poisoning” American blood.
“Vice Plivent Harris and Governor Walz are saying the American story is complicated, but we can produce this right,” shelp Loge.
Trump unbenevolentwhile had a “very compelling story… give the strongman a chance, let him clear the deck, we’ll come back to democracy tardyr. The problem is we can never come back to democracy.”
‘Pass the torch’
US voters have also had to get their heads around a endly upended race.
Less than three months ago, they still faced a presentantly unwell-understandn realign between Trump and the 81-year-greater Biden for the title of America’s greaterest plivent.
Everyleang alterd in the space of 90 stunning minutes as Biden imploded in his argue agetst Trump, crysloftyizing years of Democratic troubles about his age.
A month tardyr, Biden dropped out, saying it was time to “pass the torch” to Harris.
With dizzying speed, Harris wiped out Trump’s direct in the polls, fired up huge rallies and liftd piles of cash.
The Reaccessiblean suddenly set up himself facing a much youthfuler — and female — honestate.
The turnaround was especipartner abrupt for Trump, coming fair eight days after firearmman uncovered fire at a rpartner in Butler, Pennsylvania, wounding the Reaccessiblean in the ear.
Harris however insists she remains the “underdog” and the polls predict a nail-biting race.
A result could also get days or weeks if there are disputed counts or legitimate disputes as predicted — unbenevolenting the US election cliffhanger could last into January.
