Deadlock in 2024 US Presidential Race Between Trump and Harris
High Stakes as Former President Trump and Vice President Harris Vie for White House amid a Tight Electoral Race
The United States is set for its presidential election on November 5, 2024, with over 160 million voters poised to decide between former Republican President Donald Trump and Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.
The race is neck-and-neck, with both candidates having equal support from 49% of registered voters, leaving just 2% undecided, according to the final national NBC News poll.
Trump, aged 78, is campaigning aggressively across key battleground states, leveraging economic concerns to bolster his bid, while Harris, aged 60, is focusing her efforts in Pennsylvania, a crucial state with significant electoral votes.
President Joe Biden withdrew from the race in July, paving the way for Harris to step into the candidacy for the Democratic Party.
Trump's campaign has been marked by a tense incident involving an assassination attempt during a rally in Pennsylvania, which he survived, further intensifying the race dynamics.
The 2024 election process continues the tradition of the Electoral College, with 538 electors determined by each state's congressional representation.
A candidate needs at least 270 electoral votes to win.
States use a winner-takes-all strategy, except for Maine and Nebraska, which distribute electoral votes proportionally.
Historic instances indicate candidates can win the presidency through the Electoral College despite losing the popular vote, as Trump experienced in 2016.
Alongside the presidential election, voters will decide on both houses of Congress, including all 435 House seats and 34 Senate seats on the same day.
Currently, Republicans hold a slight majority in the House while Democrats aim to maintain control of the Senate.
Poll projections vary, with national forecasts showing a tie, while Ipsos gives Harris a slight lead, and AtlasIntel suggests a narrow advantage for Trump.
Attention remains focused on key swing states in both the Sun Belt and Rust Belt regions.
Inauguration Day for the elected President is scheduled for January 20, 2025, marking the climax of this highly anticipated electoral showdown.
