As we approach November 5, 2024, anticipation builds for the election of the 47th president of the United States. The world is focused on the showdown of Harris vs Trump the Democratic and the Republican nominee. A new report from the New York Times indicates a neck-and-neck battle between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. The predicted outcome shows a narrow 270-268 result, with Harris holding a slight edge over former President Trump. She leads by one percentage point in Michigan, two in Wisconsin, and nine in Nebraska’s Second Congressional District. Meanwhile, Trump is ahead in Ohio by six points among likely voters, at 50 percent to 44 percent. 

2024 Election Set to Be the Tightest Race in U.S. History 

Following President Biden’s sudden exit from the race, Kamala Harris has stepped in as the new Democratic nominee, reigniting voter enthusiasm for the party. Many voters expressed concerns about Biden’s age and declining health, which shifted their support toward Trump. Now, Harris stands as a formidable contender against the Republicans. Most polls suggest that the November election will be the closest in American history, with the fate of the 47th president hinging on swing states. The six battleground states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, North Carolina, Georgia, and Arizona are set to witness a closely contested race. 

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk Weighs in on the Harris vs Trump Debate 

The tech billionaire Elon Musk has openly shown his support for Trump, claiming that if the Republican candidate is not elected, it could mark the end of elections in the United States. “Very few Americans realize that if Trump is NOT elected, this will be the last election. Far from being a threat to democracy, he is the only way to save it!” Musk asserted while replying to a user on X (formerly Twitter). Additionally, Musk accused the Biden administration of granting citizenship to illegal migrants to sway swing states. He alleges that the Biden-led government is flying asylum seekers into these states, which could lead to the collapse of American democracy and a transition to a one-party state. 

Harris Challenges Trump for Another Presidential Debate 

Vice President Kamala Harris has invited former President Trump for another debate via a new TV advertisement. The ad mocks Trump’s reluctance to face her after their initial debate in September. During her campaign, Harris addressed Trump directly, stating, “Join me on the debate stage. Let’s have another debate. There’s more to talk about, and the voters of America deserve to hear the conversation that I think we should be having on substance, issues, and policies.” The Democrats labeled Trump a “loser” for not participating in another debate. 

Meanwhile, at a rally in Wisconsin, Trump referred to Harris as “mentally impaired” and called for her disqualification from the presidential race. These verbal altercations between the candidates are only heightening the tension as we approach election day. With the stakes so high, every word and move could tip the scales in this historic election.
