In a fiercely contested battle for the White House, former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris have secured early victories in traditional Republican and Democratic strongholds. These early results indicate a deeply divided America, with a nation-wide decision on its future direction hanging in the balance.

By Tuesday morning, the Associated Press had allocated 230 electoral votes to Trump and 179 to Harris. As polls closed in crucial battleground states like Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and others, the final outcomes remain uncertain, making this election a nail-biting affair.

The ongoing voting in western states adds to the tally of the initial 84 million early votes. Key voter concerns include democracy, immigration, inflation, and the integrity of election systems, amid widespread legal challenges anticipated by both camps in this historic electoral showdown.
