Who Will Be the Next U.S. President? Will Donald Trump or Kamala Harris Lead the Superpower? Decision Day is Here.
Voting for the 47th President of the United States is set to begin in just a few hours.
Ahead of the official election day on November 5, over 79 million people have already cast their ballots, and the remaining voters will choose their preferred candidate today.
To secure victory, a candidate needs at least 270 electoral votes out of a total of 538. The race between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris is expected to be fiercely competitive.
The outcome will largely depend on the results from seven key swing states. Voters will also be selecting all 435 members of the House of Representatives and 34 Senators.
Polling will start in Vermont at 3 p.m. Pakistani time, with the times varying across six different U.S. time zones.
Today marks the crucial election to decide America's next president. If Donald Trump wins, he would become only the second president in U.S. history to return to office after losing a previous election, serving a non-consecutive term.
Earlier, in the final push for the U.S. presidency, Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump took contrasting approaches.
Harris made her last appeal at a historic Black church in Detroit and to Arab Americans in Michigan, stressing the importance of voter action. “In just two days we have the power to decide the fate of our nation for generations to come,” she said, also pledging to end the war in Gaza if elected.
Meanwhile, Trump adopted a provocative tone at a rally in Pennsylvania, criticizing Harris and calling Democrats a “demonic party,” while also attacking the media. He commented on media criticism, saying, “To get me, somebody would have to shoot through the fake news and I don’t mind that so much.”
