The world's richest man has spent over $120 million backing Trump's campaign, and the Republican candidate had earlier said that he would appoint Musk to lead a government efficiency commission. Here are the key quotes: - "I want to thank the American people for the extraordinary honour of being elected your 47th president and your 45th president. " - "This will truly be the golden age of America." - "Winning the popular vote was very nice. There is a great feeling of love in this very large room." - "The number of victories in the Senate was absolutely incredible. Nobody expected that, nobody. We have some great new Senators. It also looks like we will be keeping control of the House of Representatives." - "I want to thank my beautiful wife Melania, the first lady. She also has the No.1 best-selling book in the country." - "We’re going to seal up our borders, we want people to come in, but they have to come in legally." - "We have a new star, Elon [Musk]. A star is born. He is a special guy, he is a genius ... We have to protect our geniuses." - "I want to thank millions of Americans for showing up in record numbers and delivering a victory. We will pay you back and do our best job. We will turn it around, in every way. This will be remembered as the day the American people regained control of the country." - "Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is going to make America healthy again. He wants to do some things." - "China does not have what we have. We have the greatest people, and that's the most important thing." - "Asian Americans, Muslim Americans, Arab Americans ... everybody came out in our support. It was a historic re-alignment. The Republican Party is the party of common sense!" - "God spared my life for a reason. And that reason was to save our country and restore America to greatness. We will fulfil that mission together." - "We had no wars in four years [during his earlier term], although we defeated ISIS." - "It is time to put the division of the past four years behind us. Success will bring us together." - "We have to put America first for a period of time at least. We have to make America great again. I won't let you down. Our future will be safer and stronger than ever before." - "If I lose an election, if it's a fair election, I would be the first one to acknowledge it. So far I think it's been fair."

Morning brief: Trump ahead in US polls; Iran says Iranian-German prisoner died before execution, and more

Advisors have reportedly urged former United States president and&nbsp;Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump to declare victory prematurely if he has sufficient lead in key swing states like Pennsylvania, The Guardian reported citing people close to him.

<h2>‘Trump got nothing to lose’</h2>

According to the report, the general consensus among the Trump team is that the former president has nothing to lose if he makes a victory announcement based on a lead of several hundred thousand votes in swing states. Trump has been advised to make a similar announcement if his internal pollsters give him the green light, even before the results of the 2024 presidential elections&nbsp;are officially declared.

While&nbsp;Trump talked to reporters Tuesday, he stressed he had a very “substantial lead.”

“It looks like we have a very substantial lead. It looks like we have many more Republicans voting than Democrats. So if you have a lead and a bigger vote it means you’re doing well but they have to call a winner. And they should call a winner,” Trump said, adding, “I don’t know what’s going to happen in terms of declaring victory.”

On the other hand, Trump has also been warned against declaring victory in case of a close contest. Former White House strategist Steven Bannon reportedly warned Trump it may make him look foolish if he does so without any clarity.

Nonetheless, Trump has largely kept quiet on his plans on the election night, against his open declaration in 2020 when he allegedly told his allies and friends he would declare victory no matter what the official results said.

Earlier, former US National Security Adviser John Bolton and Senator Bernie Sanders warned that Trump will declare himself winner early.

Bolton, while answering a question on BBC Newsnight, said 'Of course, not' when asked if Trump would accept the loss.

“I’m predicting between 9 and 10 o’clock, he’ll announce that he’s won and hope that the states in the West — Arizona, Nevada, where polls will still be open — might be susceptible to what he has to say,” Bolton said.

US election: Allies tell Trump to declare victory prematurely if he secures lead in swing states, says report

The mood at the Kamala Harris watch party shifted significantly when results began to show a swing towards Donald Trump after he won some of the major states on Wednesday.&nbsp;

Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate who had planned an election night party at Howard University, did not speak at the event. Her campaign co-chair, Cedric Richmond, told the demoralised audience that the current vice president will not speak tonight.

He said, “We still have votes to count. We still have states that have not been called yet. We will continue overnight to fight to make sure that every vote is counted, that every voice has spoken."

“So you won’t hear from the vice president tonight but you will hear from her tomorrow,” Richmond further said, according to the Associated Press. He also said that Kamala Harris will return to Howard to address not only her supporters but the entire nation.&nbsp;

The watch party became a déjà vu for Democrats as it was getting similar to the event&nbsp;organised by then-Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s election night in 2016. Hillary hadn't&nbsp;appeared at the parties and sent the party's high-top aides to address and inform the audience.

John Podesta, Clinton’s campaign chairman had said in 2016 “We’re still counting votes and every vote should count. Several states are too close to call. So we’re not going to have anything more to say tonight." The statement and situation are similar to Kamala's watch party.&nbsp;

Just like Clinton Harris' party&nbsp;also started with a jubilant celebration with people dancing and eagerly waiting to create history. But&nbsp;the party that started as a jubilant celebration became sour when the Democrat's path to victory narrowed. The party ended in a dark mood, and people who stayed till the end were feeling hopeless and forlorn.&nbsp;

A spokesperson from Trump’s campaign, Karoline Leavitt, made a comment on Harris’s watch party mood, and wrote on X, “Sounds like the joy has left the building.”&nbsp;

A watch party was also organised at Detroit church to support Kamala Harris. The party host, Rev. Charles Williams II, said that it is challenging to watch the election results, reflecting the anxiety pooling in&nbsp;Harris supporters. The event’s host said, “If I was at home, I would turn off the TV and go to bed."Because this is challenging,” according to&nbsp;the Associated Press.&nbsp;

However, despite the sour mood of Harris’s supporters and the democratic party, President Joe Biden has made congratulatory calls to the Democrats who won on Election Day. According to the White House, he has made several calls including to Lisa Blunt Rochester, who won the US Senate seat in Delaware, Matt Meyer, who got elected as the state governor, and a few more calls to Andy Kim and Josh Stein.&nbsp;

Mood darkens at Democratic watch parties as Trump looks set for a victory

Barron Trump is the youngest son of former United States President Donald Trump.

Trump welcomed Barron in 2006, shortly after he tied the knot with his third wife Melania&nbsp;in 2005.

Barron is Donald's fifth and Melania's first child.

Born in 2006, Barron was raised in the Trump family's opulent penthouse in New York City and attended elite private schools on Manhattan's Upper West Side.

When Donald Trump took office in January 2017, Melania and her son remained in New York City for several months so Barron could complete his academic year. During the summers, Barron would join his family at the White House.

Melania has consistently sought to shield Barron from the public eye.&nbsp;

Barron turned 18 on March 20, 2024, and is attending New York University's Stern School of Business.

Speaking about his son's decision to join NYU, the Republican presidential candidate&nbsp;said they had also considered the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania where he had gone.&nbsp;

“It’s [NYU] a very high-quality place. He liked it. He liked the school. I went to Wharton, and that was certainly one that we were considering. We didn’t do that. We went for Stern.”

Trump said Barron had already taken an interest in politics and was advising him on how to attract the Gen-Z to vote for him. Barron was the brains behind his father going on a live stream with Adin Ross and other popular streamers.&nbsp;

“Adin Ross, you know, I mean, I do some people that I wasn’t so familiar with, different generation. He knows every one of them. And we’ve had tremendous success," said Donald.&nbsp;

Roughly 41 million Gen Z voters will be exercising their ballot in the 2024 US elections and whoever capitalises upon them, may win the keys to the White House. &nbsp;

West Virginia US Presidential Election 2024: Voting, result info, candidates and all you need to know

It’s a race that remains extremely unpredictable even as the Nov 5 D-Day looms! Most of the polls appearing in US media predict a statistically tied matchup, even in key swing states. This article mentions seven recent polls released on Sunday (Nov 3) and Monday in the US, to give you a bird’s eye view of the situation on the ground as well as the direction in which the presidential polls seem to be heading.

US Elections 2024: Is Donald Trump Ahead In Betting Odds? How Does It Look For Kamala?

Former president Barack Obama’s campaign manager, Jim Messina, warned on Sunday (Nov. 3) that early voting numbers are a "little scary" for Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris.&nbsp;

Messina, in an interview on MSNBC’s “Inside with Jen Psaki” said that the Republicans are voting early at rates higher than they have historically, which could further change what the vote breakdown looks like when early returns come in on election night.

“Early vote numbers are a little scary,” Messina told Psaki.&nbsp;

Messina has worked in both administrations of Obama and President Joe Biden, before becoming a host on MSNBC.&nbsp;

“Republicans didn’t do what they did last time. Last time, Trump said, ‘Don’t early vote.’ And so they didn’t. Republicans do have an advantage in early vote numbers. When the early vote comes in, it’s going to look a little bit different than 2020, and that’s scary,” he said.&nbsp;

However, he added that Harris is holding strong in the last leg of the campaign and he is optimistic about the voting turnout for Harris among young voters and women.

“But when you kind of dig into the numbers, the numbers that I care the most about are two blocs: women voters and young voters, and those two voting blocs are coming big, Jen. Women voters make up 55 percent of the early voters, and in the past 10 days, young voters in these battleground states are coming out — in what looks to be, for an early vote, historic numbers — and that makes the Harris campaign very, very happy,” Messina said.

“But when you look at some of the early vote numbers, it has led lots of your friends and my friends to call me panicking,” he added. “And I do think it is true: The Republicans have done a better job than they did last time on early vote.”

US Elections 2024: Donald Trump Promises A 'Golden Era' In United States

The Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump claimed that the former First Lady Michelle Obama has been "nasty" with him and "hit" him.&nbsp;

Addressing his closing rally on Monday (Nov 4) in North Carolina, the former president asked the crowd if he was "allowed to hit back at her now."&nbsp;

Narrating a conversation with his adviser, Trump said, "Michelle...I was so nice to her out of respect. She hit me the other day. I would say,&nbsp;‘Am I allowed to hit her now?’ They said: ‘Take it easy, sir.’ My geniuses, they said, ‘Just take it easy.’ ‘What do you mean? She said that about me, I can’t hit back?’ ‘Sir, you’re winning. Just relax.'"

He further asked the crowd, "Is that good or bad advice? " and answered, "I think it's neutral."&nbsp;

While endorsing the Democratic nominee Kamala Harris for the 2024 US election, Obama said, "We are holding Kamala to a higher standard than her opponent. We expect her to be intelligent and articulate and to prove time and time again. But with Trump, we expect nothing at all. No understanding of policy. No ability to put together a coherent argument. Instead, too many people are willing to write off his mean-spirited antics.”

US Elections: Trump, Harris Neck to Neck | Battleground States That Will Decide Winner

As the US presidential election draws near, financial markets are grappling with mounting concerns over inflation and the potential return of "bond vigilantes", investors who drive up bond yields by rejecting government debt according to a detailed report by CNBC.

The possibility of Donald Trump’s victory is intensifying these worries, with many speculating that his economic policies could stir inflationary pressures and spark a rise in bond yields. This, in turn, would hurt the value of fixed-income investments, which move inversely to bond yields.

Bond yields have been volatile<o:p></o:p>

Bond yields have been volatile since mid-September, driven by a mix of political uncertainty and economic factors. The Federal Reserve’s decision to lower interest rates in September, intended to boost economic activity, has triggered fears of stronger economic growth and higher inflation. Coupled with the US government’s mounting budget deficit, which exceeded $1.8 trillion in fiscal 2024, these developments have raised concerns among bond investors about the growing risk of holding Treasury securities. 

ED Yardeni has warned investors<o:p></o:p>

Ed Yardeni, economist and founder of Yardeni Research, warned that the bond market could push the 10-year Treasury yield above 5 per cent, a level not seen since 2007. This could signal a return of the bond vigilantes, traders who could force the government to address its fiscal policy by selling off debt or demanding higher yields. Yardeni cautioned that the Fed’s interest rate cuts could be seen as too aggressive and could further stoke inflation expectations, adding to the pressure on bond markets.

The rising deficit and the possibility of higher inflation are particularly concerning under both presidential candidates. While Vice President Kamala Harris has maintained the fiscal policies of the Biden administration, which have contributed to the highest inflation in four decades, Trump’s proposed policies are stoking even greater fears.

His intentions to increase tariffs and expand deportations, combined with his reported interest in exerting control over the Federal Reserve, are seen by some as a recipe for economic contraction, higher inflation, and potential damage to US trade-exposed sectors like manufacturing and agriculture.

A recent report from the Peterson Institute for International Economics warned that Trump’s policies could lead to lower national income, higher inflation, and increased economic damage, with long-term repercussions.

Meanwhile, Wall Street analysts have offered mixed views on the implications of a Trump presidency. Morgan Stanley predicts Trump’s protectionist policies could shave off 1.4 per cent from economic growth and raise inflation by nearly 1 per cent. JPMorgan, on the other hand, flagged a “red sweep” of Republican policies as a potential tail risk for the economy, explaining the possibility of stagflation driven by higher tariffs and mass deportations.

However, there is some debate. During his first term, Trump’s tariffs didn’t lead to runaway inflation, with the inflation rate staying below 3 per cent throughout his presidency.

Despite the concerns, some analysts believe that economic growth will normalize after 2025, easing the pressure on bond markets. Evercore ISI, for example, forecasts a modest increase in inflation under Trump but anticipates only a small uptick in the Fed's baseline interest rate compared to a Harris administration.

As the election results approach, the bond market remains on edge, but analysts predict that regardless of the outcome, the uncertainty fuelling market volatility will likely subside in the months following the election. In the meantime, both bond investors and stock market participants will be closely watching the unfolding political landscape for signs of the economic direction ahead.

ED Yardeni has warned investors Ed Yardeni, economist and founder of Yardeni Research, warned that the bond market could push the 10-year Treasury yield above 5 per cent, a level not seen since 2007. This could signal a return of the bond vigilantes, traders who could force the government to address its fiscal policy by selling off debt or demanding higher yields. Yardeni cautioned that the Fed’s interest rate cuts could be seen as too aggressive and could further stoke inflation expectations, adding to the pressure on bond markets. The rising deficit and the possibility of higher inflation are particularly concerning under both presidential candidates. While Vice President Kamala Harris has maintained the fiscal policies of the Biden administration, which have contributed to the highest inflation in four decades, Trump’s proposed policies are stoking even greater fears. His intentions to increase tariffs and expand deportations, combined with his reported interest in exerting control over the Federal Reserve, are seen by some as a recipe for economic contraction, higher inflation, and potential damage to US trade-exposed sectors like manufacturing and agriculture. A recent report from the Peterson Institute for International Economics warned that Trump’s policies could lead to lower national income, higher inflation, and increased economic damage, with long-term repercussions. Meanwhile, Wall Street analysts have offered mixed views on the implications of a Trump presidency. Morgan Stanley predicts Trump’s protectionist policies could shave off 1.4 per cent from economic growth and raise inflation by nearly 1 per cent. JPMorgan, on the other hand, flagged a “red sweep” of Republican policies as a potential tail risk for the economy, explaining the possibility of stagflation driven by higher tariffs and mass deportations. However, there is some debate. During his first term, Trump’s tariffs didn’t lead to runaway inflation, with the inflation rate staying below 3 per cent throughout his presidency. Despite the concerns, some analysts believe that economic growth will normalize after 2025, easing the pressure on bond markets. Evercore ISI, for example, forecasts a modest increase in inflation under Trump but anticipates only a small uptick in the Fed's baseline interest rate compared to a Harris administration. As the election results approach, the bond market remains on edge, but analysts predict that regardless of the outcome, the uncertainty fuelling market volatility will likely subside in the months following the election. In the meantime, both bond investors and stock market participants will be closely watching the unfolding political landscape for signs of the economic direction ahead.
