Election

The U.S. presidential election is unfolding as a closely contested battle between Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump. As polls close nationwide, results may not be finalized until later in the week.

The Trump campaign's efforts to court Black and Latino voters seem to be making an impact, notably in North Carolina. Exit polls indicate significant increases in Trump's vote share among these groups compared to 2020. However, Trump is facing a dip in support from white voters in key battleground states. In Pennsylvania, his support among white voters and white male voters has declined, while Latino support has increased significantly.

Voter demographics reveal a notable gender gap, with Harris expected to gain significant support from women, particularly over issues like abortion rights. However, Trump appears to be retaining white women voters' backing in pivotal states like Pennsylvania and Georgia. Meanwhile, Trump's campaign is strategically targeting male voters via various media channels, revealing a nuanced electoral landscape as the race progresses.
