Background
US Election Results 2024 LIVE Updates: Election Day unfolded relatively smoothly in the United States, except for the reports of scattered delays and disruptions. After an election season marked by concerns over disinformation, foreign influence and threats, a few hoax calls tried to disrupt the process for a short time, but voting resumed without much delay.
This US presidential election is crucial for Americans as its outcomes are likely to shape both the nation's future and global geopolitics over the next four years. Exit polls indicate it will be a neck-and-neck battle between Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and Republican nominee Donald Trump. The race remained stubbornly deadlocked for weeks with some of the election forecasters giving 60-year Harris an edge over former President Trump, 78, in some of the key battleground states like Pennsylvania.
As polls closed in most states, Trump won eight states, while Harris has so far captured three states and Washington, D.C., Edison Research projected. However, the final outcome of the race remained uncertain with critical battleground states unlikely to be called for hours or even days.
In the next few hours, polls are set to close in the seven swing states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin which will effectively decide who will be the 47th President of the United States.
With the voting closing in the next few hours, the people are now bracing for the much-awaited results. According to authorities, 182,000 pre-election ballots were counted already in Pennsylvania.
Meanwhile, exit polls showed the state of democracy, the shape of the economy and abortion are the most important issues for American voters in the election. Almost six in 10 people ranked the state of democracy as their number one issue, according to exit polls released by CBS News. It was followed by abortion as five per cent of the voters felt it was an important issue for them. Over one in 10 chose the economy as a priority issue.
