Pennsylvania US Presidential Election 2024: Donald Trump defeats Kamala Harris in key state

<p>The Instagram-famous Peanut or P’Nut the squirrel might have been decapitated after New York wildlife officials seized it from the owner Mark Longo on October 30, fears Longo.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The squirrel that became a sensation first and then a US election campaign talking point, was taken away from Longo and euthanised on November 1.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Longo told the New York Post that he wishes a proper burial for the beloved pet.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“I’m hoping to give him a proper burial,” he said.</p>

<p>He further said that he is planning a lawsuit against the state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) after they raided his home for the squirrel.</p>

<p>“But seven days later the body hasn’t been returned. No results of rabies tests have been given,” Longo said, whose pet was taken to be euthanised for rabies.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The DEC claimed it was forced to perform rabies tests on P’Nut and Longo’s pet racoon named Fred — and those tests require a sample from the subject’s brain.</p>

<p>This entire process fears Longo of the worst and he is ready to sue over.</p>

<p>“This is much bigger than a squirrel and a raccoon. This is about government overreach,” he said. “We want justice for what transpired at my home. You violated my home. You assassinated my animals.”</p>

<p>“I got wind of my animals being murdered through a news station,” Longo said. “I, as a New York State citizen, got my animals murdered by my own government, and my own government couldn’t call me to tell me what happened. I had to read it in a newspaper.</p>

<p>Longo hasn’t heard from the DEC yet.</p>

<p>“Somebody needs to be held accountable for the massive overreach in power,” he added.</p>

<p>Peanut was rescued by Longo after its mother was run over by a car. Peanut has been with Mark for seven long years and is quite popular on Instagram.&nbsp;</p>

The Instagram-famous Peanut or P’Nut the squirrel might have been decapitated after New York wildlife officials seized it from the owner Mark Longo on October 30, fears Longo.

The Instagram-famous Peanut or P’Nut the squirrel might have been decapitated after New York wildlife officials seized it from the owner Mark Longo on October 30, fears Longo. The squirrel that became a sensation first and then a US election campaign talking point, was taken away from Longo and euthanised on November 1. Longo told the New York Post that he wishes a proper burial for the beloved pet. “I’m hoping to give him a proper burial,” he said. He further said that he is planning a lawsuit against the state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) after they raided his home for the squirrel. “But seven days later the body hasn’t been returned. No results of rabies tests have been given,” Longo said, whose pet was taken to be euthanised for rabies. Also Read | 2024 on track to be hottest year in history, says EU climate monitor ahead of COP29 The DEC claimed it was forced to perform rabies tests on P’Nut and Longo’s pet racoon named Fred — and those tests require a sample from the subject’s brain. This entire process fears Longo of the worst and he is ready to sue over. “This is much bigger than a squirrel and a raccoon. This is about government overreach,” he said. “We want justice for what transpired at my home. You violated my home. You assassinated my animals.” “I got wind of my animals being murdered through a news station,” Longo said. “I, as a New York State citizen, got my animals murdered by my own government, and my own government couldn’t call me to tell me what happened. I had to read it in a newspaper.

Peanut was rescued by Longo after its mother was run over by a car. Peanut has been with Mark for seven long years and is quite popular on Instagram.

<p><strong>US election 2024:</strong> As the United States presidential elections came to an end with Republican Donald Trump claiming the race to the White House, there’s a small village in India that is also rejoicing&nbsp;in this win along with the Republican supporters.</p>

<p>“If she can recognise her roots and do something good for this village, then that would be great.”</p>

<p>According to reports, the Noida Police started a chase after spotting a notorious robber on Wednesday night. The chase ended in an encounter, and the police team recovered a stolen motorcycle, a pistol, five looted mobile phones, and ammunition from the accused.</p>

<p>The incident occurred around midnight when police was on their routine security check under the directives of the Gautam Buddha Nagar Police Commissioner. Police officers stationed near Rabbit Park in Sector 58 spotted a suspicious individual approaching on a motorcycle.</p>

<p>It was later confirmed by the authorities that the suspect, who is only 22 years old, was identified as a wanted criminal involved in several robbery and theft cases in&nbsp;the area.</p>

<p><strong>US elections 2024: </strong>The official election day in the US is set for Tuesday (Nov 5), but millions of Americans have already cast their ballots, both by mail and in person, by availing the early voting option.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As of Monday, the Associated Press reported that around 82 million ballots had been cast early nationwide, with similar figures confirmed by the University of Florida's Election Lab.</p>

<p>The first surge in early voting was seen during the 2020 presidential election, when a massive turnout helped Joe Biden secure victory. However, the 2024 number easily topped the previous early voting record of more than 3.6 million ballots cast in 2020.</p>

<p>The strength of early voting in this election will be important for the campaigns of both former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.</p>

<h2><strong>Most early voters are Republicans, data shows</strong></h2>

<p>During the 2020 presidential elections, Republicans made up 30.5 per cent of the total early votes cast in the 20 states that track party registration, versus 44.8 per cent for Democrats. But this weightage seems to slightly change this election season.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Republican voters represent 36.1 per cent of early votes cast across the country this year, while Democrats represent 38.9 per cent. The remaining quarter has come from voters not affiliated with any party or who have registered with a third party.</p>

<p>This might help Donald Trump to take an early lead in the polls.</p>

<h2><strong>More women early voters than men</strong></h2>

<p>In the six states that report gender data, including the battleground states of Georgia, Michigan, and North Carolina, women have cast&nbsp;54.2 per cent of the early ballots so far. This percentage is a few points higher than the 2020 mark, as per polls research conducted by Edison Research.</p>

<p>Some recent surveys show that women are backing Democrats by a historically large margin, which could help boost Vice President Harris’ percentage.</p>

<h2><strong>Other trends</strong></h2>

<p>Among the key states, in Georgia, more than 50 per cent of eligible voters have now cast ballots. The early turnout there is slightly older and whiter than the early voting 2020 electorate, which could help Trump. In Pennsylvania, the contest looks tight.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Another new trend this year is the increase in early in-person voting, unlike four years ago when mail-in ballots accounted for almost two-thirds of the early vote due to the pandemic. This year, there’s a clear split between mail-in and early in-person voting, with in-person ballots accounting for 54 per cent of all early votes as of Sunday morning, as per NBC news.</p>

<p><strong>US election 2024</strong>: Looks like the viral Thai pygmy hippopotamus, Moo Deng has become the new Nostradamus of US polls, making predictions of the US presidential election 2024.</p>

<p>As the contest between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump looks tight ahead of November 5, people are turning to all kinds of crazy predictions. In one such attempt, the baby hippo also made a choice- between the Democrat and Republican candidates.</p>

<p>In a viral video, the internet's favourite&nbsp;Moo Deng is called out of the water, with food as the bait. The baby hippo was given two options, in the form of two watermelons with US presidential election candidates’ names on each of the two. The hippo walks straight to the fruit basket, made using a watermelon shell, and chooses the Republican leader Donald Trump.</p>
