Here's the net worth of Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris

<p>United States presidential candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are fighting neck-to-neck in the elections and rallying the swing state voters.</p>

<p>However, in this battle for the White House, many are wondering if Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Harris will be able to hold the "blue wall".</p>

<h2><strong>What is the 'blue wall'?</strong></h2>

<p>The term 'blue wall'&nbsp;stands for the group of states which have voted for Democrats in the previous presidential elections till 2012.</p>

<p>This group of blue wall includes the District of Columbia and 18 states which have been the strongholds of Democrats for decades. These states are California, New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Michigan, Washington, Wisconsin, Maryland, Minnesota, Connecticut, Oregon, Maine, Hawaii, Delaware, Rhode Island and Vermont.</p>

<p>A major chunk of time during the election campaign has been spent by both the presidential candidates in the “blue wall” states.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>History of blue wall breaches in US elections</strong></h2>

<p>The "blue wall" states remained committed to the Democratic Party in all the presidential polls from 1992 to 2012.</p>

<p>When Trump clinched a shocking victory in the 2016 elections, he flipped three "blue wall" states: Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. However, in the 2020 presidential elections, US President Joe Biden again turned these states into blue.</p>

<p>In 2024 presidential states, the three states flipped by Trump account for 44 electoral votes which is a major portion of the 93 electoral votes of the seven&nbsp;battleground&nbsp;states.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the NYC/Sienna poll published on Sunday (Nov 3), Harris was narrowly ahead of Trump with 49 per cent of voters and in the states of Michigan and Pennsylvania, she was tied with Trump with 47 per cent and 48 per cent of voters, respectively.</p>

<p>If Harris clinches win in all the Democratic-leaning states and the three "blue wall" states, which once flipped, she will easily secure the 270 electoral votes required for the White House.</p>

<p>But, if Trump repeats history and breaches the Blue Wall again, he can become the country's next president.</p>

Hours before the US presidential elections, the campaign of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump posted an AI-generated, Indianised image of the leader and Tesla CEO Elon Musk. The Republican candidate can be seen eating at an Indian household in a new avatar as an Indian politician, with Melania Trump and Musk. Billionaire Musk was also tagged in the post and asked, “Which one looks original? @elonmusk?” The images were created by an Indian artist named Shahid SK, who made Trump and Vice-President Kamala Harris appear as Indian politicians.

<p>Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) Chairman BR Naidu on Monday (Nov 4) rejected the comparison of the Waqf Board with the governing body of Tirumala by AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Naidu said that making a comparison between the two bodies is baseless since Waqf Board is a real estate company and Tirumala is a temple.</p>

<p>"This statement is baseless, the waqf board is a real estate company... How can he compare it with Tirumala? Tirumala is a Hindu temple. There have been demands for many years that non-Hindus should not be in Tirumala. It is not my personal (opinion)... Sanatana Dharma says only Hindus should be there. We are working on that and we will decide in the first board meeting," said the TTD chairman.</p>

<p>"Not even a single member of the 24 members of TTD Board (Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams) is a non-Hindu...The new Chairman of TTD says that the people working there should be Hindu...We are not against this, we just have an objection to the fact that Narendra Modi's government is saying in the proposed bill of Waqf that in the central Waqf Council, it has been made mandatory that 2 non-Muslim members should be there...Why are you bringing this provision in the&nbsp;Waqf bill?," said Owaisi.</p>

<p>"TTD is a board of the Hindu religion and Waqf Board is for the Muslim religion. There should be parity...When the trustees of TTD cannot be Muslims, how will a non-Muslim member be on the Waqf Board?," he further stated.</p>

<p>Addressing the protest on X, Peel Regional Police said that the deployment of police officers has been increased at the temple for maintaining public order.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Meanwhile, criticising the attack on the social media platform X, Indian-origin MP Chandra Arya said, "A red line has been crossed by Canadian Khalistani extremists today. The attack by Khalistanis on the Hindu-Canadian devotees inside the premises of the Hindu Sabha temple in Brampton shows how deep and brazen has Khalistani violent extremism become in Canada. I begin to feel that there is a small grain of truth in the reports that in addition to Canadian political apparatus, Khalistanis have effectively infiltrated into our law enforcement agencies."</p>

<p>In a statement on the issue, the High Commission of India in Ottawa expressed its "deep disappointment" and said, "We have seen violent disruption today (Nov. 3) orchestrated by anti-India elements outside the consular camp."</p>

<p>External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said that the Indian government "condemns acts of violence perpetrated by extremists and separatists. We also expect that those indulging in such violence will be prosecuted."&nbsp;</p>

A group of people with pro-Khalistani flags and sticks barged into the event and targeted the people of the Hindu community. Addressing the protest on X, Peel Regional Police said that the deployment of police officers has been increased at the temple for maintaining public order. “We respect the right to protest in a peaceful and safe manner but will not tolerate violence and criminal acts. Those that do participate in this activity will be pursued, arrested and charged," said Chief Nishan Duraiappah.

The attack by Khalistanis on the Hindu-Canadian devotees inside the premises of the Hindu Sabha temple in Brampton shows how deep and brazen has Khalistani violent extremism become in Canada. I begin to feel that there is a small grain of truth in the reports that in addition to Canadian political apparatus, Khalistanis have effectively infiltrated into our law enforcement agencies." In a statement on the issue, the High Commission of India in Ottawa expressed its "deep disappointment" and said, "We have seen violent disruption today (Nov. 3) orchestrated by anti-India elements outside the consular camp." External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said that the Indian government "condemns acts of violence perpetrated by extremists and separatists. We also expect that those indulging in such violence will be prosecuted." (With inputs from agencies)
