Inflation, Immigration or Abortion Rights: What went wrong for Kamala Harris?

<p><meta name="uuid" content="uuidUXLbh5aV7to9" /></p>

<p>“This is not a time to throw up our hands. This is a time to roll up our sleeves," said US Vice President Kamala Harris in her concession speech to the nation on Wednesday (Nov 6) after Donald Trump's crushing presidential victory.</p>

<p>In her speech at Howard University, where supporters were in tears after Harris' campaign could not stop a second Trump term in the US, Harris said, "While I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fuelled this campaign."</p>

<p>Harris pledged to continue fighting for women's rights and against gun violence and to "fight for the dignity that all people deserve."</p>

<p>She said she had called President-elect Trump, congratulated him on his triumph and promised to engage in a peaceful transfer of power.</p>

<p>She further added that she knows people "feel like we are entering a dark time," but ended her speech calling for "optimism" and "faith."</p>

<p>The sombre mood was in striking contrast to the homecoming a few weeks ago on the Howard campus when thousands of students and alumni gathered ahead of what they hoped would be the election of the country's first graduate of historically Black Colleges and Universities as president.</p>

<p>Harris addressed a crowd that included former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, aides in President Joe Biden's White House, and thousands of supporters. As she entered the stage, Harris' campaign anthem, Beyoncé's "Freedom", played. Her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, also joined the crowd.</p>

<p>Harris rose to the top of the Democratic ticket in July after Biden stepped aside. She brought new-found enthusiasm and cash to the ticket, but she struggled to overcome voters' concerns about the economy and immigration.</p>

'I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign': Harris says in concession speech, here are top quotes

<p><strong>New York US Presidential Elections 2024 result:</strong> New York, home to America's most populous city, was among the states that went to polls on November 5 to choose between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump for US president, besides voting in a number of federal and state level elections.</p>

<p>The state's politics is shaped by the waves of immigrant populations that reached its shores, welcomed by the Statue of Liberty at Ellis Island over the past two centuries. Immigrant workers were a key aspect of political discourse and it was inevitable that New York would become a centre for civil rights and labour movements.&nbsp;</p>

Immigrant workers were a key aspect of political discourse and it was inevitable that New York would become a centre for civil rights and labour movements.

New York US Presidential Elections result 2024: House, Senate, state votes - What we know

<p>The famous "polling Nostradamus" Allan Lichtman, who is an American political historian and is known for predicting the winners of US elections correctly, appeared confused and at a loss of words on Wednesday (Nov 6) when Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump started leading the election results and proving his predictions absolutely wrong.</p>

<p>Lichtman had earlier predicted that Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris would win the presidential elections, however, Trump won the White House and made a political comeback.</p>

<p>Lichtman had been able to correctly predict the results of nine out of 10 presidential elections since 1984. A stumped Nostradamus was seen repeatedly saying “I don’t get it” on the live stream as Trump's landslide victory started becoming visible on the election map.</p>

<h2><strong>Here's how Nostradamus' live stream ended&nbsp;</strong></h2>

'I don’t get it': Moment ‘polling Nostradamus’ realises his prediction of Kamala Harris' win is wrong

<p>Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Monday (Nov 4) warned that if Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris comes to power she will shut down social media platform&nbsp;X by all means.</p>

<p>“There’s no way that the Kamala Harris puppet regime would allow X to exist,” said the billionaire, while speaking at 'The Joe Rogan Experience'&nbsp;podcast.</p>

<p>Speaking about Musk's acquisition of X for billions of dollars, podcaster Joe Rogan said, "If you didn't do it, no one would have. And here's the hilarious narrative that I keep hearing from idiots. ‘Elon's a bad businessman. Twitter is worth, you know, 400% less than when he bought it.’ No, it wasn't worth that in the first place. It wasn't worth $44 billion, you f---ing morons. Wrong. And also, you're not taking into account the advertiser boycott. That's total bulls---."</p>

<p>Musk said that he agrees that the&nbsp;Orwellian-named Center for Countering Digital Hate was a "total scam organisation" and called the group a "censorship organisation" that "pushed the advertisers to boycott."</p>

US Elections 2024: Republican Candidate Donald Trump Casts His Vote in Florida

<p>As Americans voted in one of the tightest presidential elections in decades, China braced for an outcome that - regardless of who wins - would spell four more years of bitter superpower rivalry over trade, technology and security issues.</p>

<p>Strategists in Beijing said that while they expected more fiery rhetoric and potentially crippling tariffs from Republican candidate Donald Trump, some said he could be driven by pragmatism and willingness to strike deals on trade and Taiwan.</p>

<p>From Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, Beijing expected predictability and a continuation of U.S. President Joe Biden's approach centred on working with allies on China-related issues such as tech curbs, Taiwan, and conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East.</p>

<p>Either outcome was unlikely to cause a shift, said analysts, given how wide-ranging the geopolitical rivalry with Beijing has become, and how politically lethal even a perception of reaching out to China is on both sides of the aisle in Washington.</p>

<p>"Regardless of who is elected, the structural tensions are an undeniable reality and have become a widely accepted bipartisan consensus within the U.S.," said Henry Huiyao Wang of the Beijing-based Center for China and Globalization think tank.</p>

<p>China policies of either Trump or Harris administrations “will likely be strategically consistent," said experts from Peking University, Wang Jisi, Hu Ran, and Zhao Jianwei in their article in Foreign Affairs.</p>

<p>"As presidents, both candidates would present challenges and disadvantages for China, and neither seems likely to want a major military conflict or to cut off all economic and societal contacts," they said, adding that because of that, "Beijing is unlikely to have a clear preference."</p>

<p>Opinion polls show Trump, 78, and Harris, 60, virtually even. The winner may not be known for days after the vote, though Trump has already signalled that he will attempt to fight any defeat, as he did in 2020.</p>

<h2><strong>Trump tariff threat</strong></h2>

<p>The biggest difference with respect to China policy is on trade, where Trump has proposed tariffs on Chinese imports in excess of 60% and ending China’s most-favored-nation trading status.</p>

<p>That threat alone has unnerved China's industrial complex, which sells goods worth more than $400 billion annually to the U.S. and hundreds of billions more in components for products Americans buy from elsewhere.</p>

<p>Producers interviewed by Reuters expected the tariffs to disrupt supply chains and further shrink Chinese profits, hurting jobs, investment, and already sagging growth. A trade war would raise production costs and U.S. consumer prices even if factories relocated, they said.</p>

<p>New tariffs could be "very challenging for Beijing given the economic difficulties in China," said Zhao Minghao, professor at the Shanghai-based Fudan University.</p>

<p>He added that Beijing also had "deeper concerns over the future of the international economic and trade system," because of Trump's proposal for a 10% tariff on all goods from other countries.</p>

China braces for more rivalry as tight US presidential race comes to an end

Election day voting has begun in the United States, with Donald Trump and Kamala Harris vying to become the next president. Americans aren't just choosing the President, they're also picking members of the US Congress. Watch this report for more details!

US Elections 2024: All Eyes on Knife-Edge Presidential Polls

The 2024 US Presidential election is now underway, with more than 80 million Americans already casting early ballots. The stakes are particularly high as key issues like abortion rights, the war in Ukraine and the Middle East dominate the discourse. Watch this report for more details!

US Elections 2024: Trump or Harris, Who Will The Voters Choose?

<p>Americans head to the polls on Tuesday in a mood of discontent and division, with opinion polls showing nearly two-thirds of voters believe the country has been heading in the wrong direction under President Joe Biden.</p>

<p>While the United States economy is the envy of the industrialised world, emerging from COVID shutdowns with strong job growth and wage increases, many Americans complain those gains were gobbled up by high grocery and housing prices.</p>

<p>Biden's promise of a return to a more humane immigration regime than under Republican former President Donald Trump soon collided with the reality of a spike in illegal border crossings.</p>

<p>The Supreme Court upended the legal landscape around abortion rights by overturning Roe v. Wade, inflaming one of the most divisive issues in American politics.</p>

<p>And despite Biden's pledge that America would serve as a stabilizing force in the world, overseas conflicts have overshadowed his presidency.</p>

<p>Whoever triumphs in the election—Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris—will inherit the legacy of a Biden administration that made good on some promises, saw others swept off-course by events, and others still only partially fulfilled. Here's how Biden fared on the defining issues of his presidency.</p>

<h2><strong>Immigration</strong></h2>

<p>Biden, a Democrat, started his presidency by reversing many of Trump’s restrictive immigration policies. He halted construction of Trump’s border wall, rescinded bans targeting people from certain majority-Muslim countries and other nations, and wound down the “remain in Mexico” program, which forced non-Mexican asylum seekers to wait in Mexico as they pursued their U.S. cases.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But months into his presidency, illegal crossings spiked, particularly among unaccompanied children from Central America, overwhelming U.S. border processing centers and fuelling Republican criticism.</p>

<p>Illegal crossings reached record levels in 2022 and 2023 as more migrants arrived from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela and countries outside the hemisphere.</p>

<p>In response, Texas Governor Greg Abbott, a Republican, in 2022 began busing arriving migrants north to Democratic cities, including New York City and Chicago, which struggled to house them.</p>

<p>In January, Biden backed a bipartisan bill that aimed to tighten border security. After the bill was defeated in the U.S. Senate amid Trump's opposition, Biden in June banned asylum for most migrants crossing the border illegally.</p>

<p>The number of migrants caught crossing illegally dropped dramatically, undercutting Trump's false claims that Harris and Democrats support an open border.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Despite the political pressures surrounding migration, Biden created new legal pathways for hundreds of thousands of migrants and oversaw the restoration of the U.S. refugee program, which admitted more than 100,000 refugees in fiscal year 2024, the most in 30 years.</p>

<p><strong>Abortion</strong></p>

<p>The biggest upheaval on abortion access in decades occurred during Biden's presidency - but because of a decision by the Supreme Court.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In June 2022, the conservative majority formed by Trump's judicial appointments to the court eliminated the nearly 50-year-old federal right to abortion under Roe v. Wade.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The decision ushered in a period in which individual states set their own laws on abortion access. More than a dozen states banned abortion in all or most cases. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Biden condemned the Supreme Court ruling, and his administration, through the Department of Health and Human Services and the Justice Department, laid out guidelines to ensure access to emergency abortion care under federal law and defended the use of the abortion pill before the Supreme Court.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The administration also pushed for expanded access to reproductive health services like contraception through the Affordable Care Act.</p>

<p>The administration won its biggest victory in June when the Supreme Court rejected a case brought by anti-abortion advocates seeking to roll back the Food and Drug Administration's approval of mifepristone, one of two medications used in the abortion pill regimen.</p>

<p>But the court dismissed on procedural grounds the administration's case, arguing that Idaho's severe abortion ban conflicted with a federal law requiring medical providers to offer stabilizing emergency care, including abortions. In October, the court declined to hear a similar administration case about Texas' strict abortion ban.</p>

<p>While devoutly Catholic Biden was openly uncomfortable about abortion from early in his political career, mitigating the impacts of the dissolution of Roe v. Wade has become a pillar of his presidency.</p>

<p>Democrats more broadly made abortion rights central to their platform in the 2022 midterm elections. In March, Harris became the first sitting vice president or president to visit an abortion clinic.</p>

<h2><strong>Economy</strong></h2>

<p>Joe Biden may go down in history as overseeing the best economy that everyone hated.</p>

<p>Since 2021, as the country emerged from a global pandemic that briefly created historic job losses and brought the economy to a near-standstill, employers have added nearly 16.5 million new jobs. The unemployment rate has averaged just 4.2%, including the longest run at 4% or below since the 1960s.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Gross domestic product growth has averaged 3.2% per quarter, well above what most economists view as the U.S. economy's long-term potential. Incomes and wages have grown above trend. Collective U.S. household net worth has climbed to a record $163.8 trillion, thanks to a booming stock market and rising home values.</p>

<p>But survey after survey over most of Biden's term has shown little of that registering with average Americans. Why? Because all of that occurred against the backdrop of the worst inflation breakout in a generation.</p>

<p>As the economy reopened, a mix of tangled supply chains, worker shortages and hot consumer demand, supported by roughly $5 trillion of government stimulus from Biden's and Trump's administrations, sent prices climbing&nbsp;fast.&nbsp;</p>

<p>By the summer of 2022, the Consumer Price Index was rising by 9.1% year-over-year and the widely followed gauge of household satisfaction with the economy—the University of Michigan's Consumer Sentiment Index—tumbled to a record low.</p>

<p>While inflation has receded and sentiment has begun to recover, surveys show Americans still feel the sting of lingering high prices, and they blame Biden and Democrats for it.</p>

<h2><strong>Racial justice</strong></h2>

<p>On his first day in the White House, Biden signed an executive order aimed at addressing racism, police brutality, poverty and inequities impacting Black people and other communities of color.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But reform has been slow. The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, introduced in 2021 to stop aggressive law enforcement tactics and racial bias, stalled in Congress.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In 2022, Biden issued an executive order directing the Department of Justice to create a national database of misconduct by federal law enforcement officers and requiring federal law enforcement agencies to investigate the use of deadly force or deaths in custody. It also restricted federal agencies from using chokeholds and "no knock" entries. &nbsp;</p>

<p>While Biden's Justice Department revived investigations into civil rights abuses, which had largely stopped under Trump, it has failed to secure a single binding settlement in the 12 investigations opened into possible police civil rights abuses since Biden took office.</p>

<p>On the economic front, Black unemployment fell to a historic low last year. This year alone, the administration directed $1.5 billion in loans to Black-owned businesses. It has also invested more than $16 billion in historically Black colleges and universities and distributed $2.2 billion to more than 43,000 Black and other farmers who experienced discrimination. Last year, the Biden administration allocated $470 million to improve maternal health.</p>

<h2><strong>Foreign policy</strong></h2>

<p>From wars in Ukraine and Gaza to civil bloodshed in Sudan, overseas conflicts have dominated Biden's foreign policy agenda.</p>

<p>Biden came to office promising to restore U.S. global leadership in the world and determined to push back on an increasingly aggressive China.</p>

<p>In some ways, his administration has done just that. After the chaotic 2021 withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, Biden rallied U.S. allies the following year to oppose Russia's invasion of Ukraine and has also revitalized alliances across Asia to pressure China's leadership.</p>

<p>But the U.S. has struggled to bring the grinding conflicts to an end and hasn't been able to prevent the deepening ties between Russia, China, Iran and North Korea.</p>

<p>Now in its third year, the war of attrition in Ukraine continues despite billions of dollars in U.S. military aid and massive losses on both sides. The conflict is increasingly international, with Western accusations that Moscow is receiving weapons and soldiers from North Korea, missiles and drones from Iran and technical and other support from China.</p>

<p>The war between Israel and Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip, which started when Hamas fighters staged a deadly attack into Israel, has metastasized into conflict between Israel and Lebanese militants Hezbollah and sparked reprisal attacks between Israel and Iran.</p>

<p>Biden's staunch support for Israel has divided his party and undercut the United States' ability to criticize others on human rights and violations of international law.</p>

<p>A conflict in Sudan has triggered ethnic violence and famine conditions in Sudan's Darfur region, where violence about 20 years ago led to the International Criminal Court charging former Sudanese leaders with genocide and crimes against humanity. The United States has been trying to help broker an end to the 18-month-long conflict.</p>

<h2><strong>Energy transition</strong></h2>

<p>Biden entered the White House with huge ambitions to fight climate change by transitioning the U.S. economy away from fossil fuels to cleaner, renewable sources—all while creating new green, unionized jobs and re-shoring U.S. manufacturing. Among his goals: put an end to federal oil and gas leasing, expand deployments of solar and wind energy to decarbonize the power grid, electrify the nation’s vehicle fleet, and ultimately put the economy on a path to become carbon-neutral by 2050. &nbsp;</p>

<p>On the winning side of the ledger, Biden signed into law three pieces of legislation that have driven a massive investment in the clean energy economy: the Inflation Reduction Act, the bipartisan infrastructure law, and the CHIPS Act, which aims to establish a domestic semiconductor supply chain that could insulate the domestic energy sector from supply shocks.</p>

<p>Under the IRA, companies have invested hundreds of billions of dollars in new solar, wind, electric vehicles and infrastructure, battery storage, and other climate-friendly projects that have sped up the energy transition and created jobs—largely in Republican states whose lawmakers did not support the legislation.</p>

<p>The administration has awarded $90 billion in grants to climate, clean energy, and other projects under the IRA, or about 70% of the law’s climate-focused grant money, according to administration officials. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The Biden administration also expanded federal leasing for renewable energy projects and passed new regulations to curb greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles, power plants, and oil and gas operations. &nbsp;</p>

<p>On the loss side, his administration’s attempts to end federal oil and gas leasing failed in the courts, and his policies failed to prevent a massive surge in U.S. oil and gas output—mostly on privately owned lands in Texas and New Mexico—that has made the US the world’s top petroleum producer.</p>

<p>And in perhaps the best litmus test of Biden’s climate actions, projections from the Rhodium Group show U.S. greenhouse gas admissions set to decline by 32-43% by 2030 under current policies, short of Biden's 50-52% goal.</p>

Americans head to the polls on Tuesday in a mood of discontent and division, with opinion polls showing nearly two-thirds of voters believe the country has been heading in the wrong direction under President Joe Biden.

Americans head to the polls on Tuesday in a mood of discontent and division, with opinion polls showing nearly two-thirds of voters believe the country has been heading in the wrong direction under President Joe Biden. While the United States economy is the envy of the industrialised world, emerging from COVID shutdowns with strong job growth and wage increases, many Americans complain those gains were gobbled up by high grocery and housing prices.

<p>The United States will continue its friendly approach towards Taiwan after the presidential election and Taiwan will work to prevent China from "making trouble" during the transition, a senior Taiwanese security official said on Wednesday.</p>

<p>Donald Trump, the Republican candidate for the U.S. presidency and neck and neck in the polls with Democrat Vice President Kamala Harris, has made comments on the campaign trail that Taiwan should pay to be protected and also accused the island of stealing American semiconductor business.</p>

<p>Democratically-governed Taiwan, which China views as its own territory, has faced a sustained military pressure campaign from Beijing over the past five years, including four major rounds of war games in the past two years.</p>

<p>Speaking to reporters in parliament, Taiwan National Security Bureau Director-General Tsai Ming-yen noted the election's outcome was still unknown.</p>

<p>"On relations across the Taiwan Strait we believe that the United States will continue its current approach of constraining China and being friendly to Taiwan," he said.</p>

<p>Taiwan will continue communication with the current administration focusing on key issues for cooperation "in the next phase" and work with international partners to exchange information on China's intentions and military movements during the transition, Tsai added.</p>

<p>"This is as to prevent the Chinese communists from taking advantage of the transition of the U.S. government and to prevent them from making trouble during the transition," he said.</p>

The United States will continue its friendly approach towards Taiwan after the presidential election and Taiwan will work to prevent China from "making trouble" during the transition, a senior Taiwanese security official said on Wednesday. Donald Trump, the Republican candidate for the U.S. presidency and neck and neck in the polls with Democrat Vice President Kamala Harris, has made comments on the campaign trail that Taiwan should pay to be protected and also accused the island of stealing American semiconductor business. Democratically-governed Taiwan, which China views as its own territory, has faced a sustained military pressure campaign from Beijing over the past five years, including four major rounds of war games in the past two years. Speaking to reporters in parliament, Taiwan National Security Bureau Director-General Tsai Ming-yen noted the election's outcome was still unknown.

Taiwan will continue communication with the current administration focusing on key issues for cooperation "in the next phase" and work with international partners to exchange information on China's intentions and military movements during the transition, Tsai added. "This is as to prevent the Chinese communists from taking advantage of the transition of the U.S. government and to prevent them from making trouble during the transition," he said.

US election: 'Bomb threats of Russian origin', machine glitches delay polling in some states

<p><strong>US Election Result 2024:</strong> It is highly likely that the election results will be delayed well after the night of November 5 in the US, or into the next morning, as Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump are locked in what pollsters predicted would be a supertight race for president.</p>

<p>Unless that is, the pollsters were wrong and one candidate has a very clear, unassailable lead in the electoral college votes.</p>

<p>The majority mark for the Electoral College votes is 270, out of 538.</p>

<p>At the time of writing this, the Associated Press news agency is projecting more electoral college votes for Trump than Harris. The AP projections are considered near-official.</p>

<p>But these victories for Trump in states like Flordia, Indiana, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Tenessee, Mississipi, Alabama, West Virginia and South Carolina are too early to confirm a national trend and include traditionally Republican, or red states.</p>

<p>The final results will be known only when battleground states finish their voting, and this election cycle, there are seven of them out of the total 50: Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin and Nevada.</p>

<p>The early leads for Trump happened in 2020 too, only to dash his hopes and reject the outcome as his Democratic rival Joe Biden won the electoral college votes and became president.</p>

<p>This time, the Trump camp is keeping a 'wait and watch' approach. Earlier reports had said that Trump was not going to immediately address the press on election night.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Counting is already slow, as long lines in some polling stations meant that polling is going to continue late into the evening.</p>

<p>The counting of absentee ballots is going to be long and tedious, as identity checking and verification is going to take time.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In both in-person and postal ballots, there are chances of legal challenges too, complicating and delaying the process futher.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/business-economy/trump-media-reports-192-million-loss-in-q3-revenue-declines-on-election-day-filing-773767"><strong>Also read: Trump Media reports $19.2 million loss in Q3, revenue declines on election day filing</strong></a><br />
<br />
Early voting has been very impressive this year, both by mail and in person, adding up to over 80 million. Counting of these, particularly postal ones, is going to be slow, as it has to be thorough and could see many legal challenges, particularly from the Trump camp.</p>

<p>Some media reports are saying that the results may not be complete untill Wednesday evening, local time.</p>

<p>That's mainly becase the battlegound states also saw high percentage of early voting.</p>

<p>When the results reach a deadheat situation, particularly in battleground states, legal challenges and demands for recounts could follow. In cases of razor-thin victory margins, this could be more pertinent.</p>

<p>Election rules vary by state, but generally speaking, many states allow for recounting if the margin is narrow, or by a percentage points. If this happens in cases where the absolute number of votes is in tens of thousands, counting could take more hours, or perhaps another day, to finsh.</p>

<br />
This is what happened in the equally contentious presidntial race of 2020. While the elections took place on November 3, the final electoral college results came in on November 7 after days of counting and recounting.</p>

<p>That's a far cry from 2016, when Trump, fighting the race for the first time, was declared winner on election night itself, as his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton conceded.</p>

<p>So, given Trump's penchant for litigation and unfounded vote-rigging allegations, the only scenario where the results could come at the end of Election Night is if he is at an unassailable lead in the electoral college voting.</p>

<p>That appears unlikely as, at the time of writing, Trump is ahead in 188 seats, with Harris closing in at nearly 100, with most battleground state results yet to come in.</p>

Watch: US Election Results: Will US Get Its First Woman President In Harris? | WION US Poll Coverage × At the time of writing this, the Associated Press news agency is projecting more electoral college votes for Trump than Harris. The AP projections are considered near-official. But these victories for Trump in states like Flordia, Indiana, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Tenessee, Mississipi, Alabama, West Virginia and South Carolina are too early to confirm a national trend and include traditionally Republican, or red states. The final results will be known only when battleground states finish their voting, and this election cycle, there are seven of them out of the total 50: Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin and Nevada. The early leads for Trump happened in 2020 too, only to dash his hopes and reject the outcome as his Democratic rival Joe Biden won the electoral college votes and became president. This time, the Trump camp is keeping a 'wait and watch' approach. Earlier reports had said that Trump was not going to immediately address the press on election night. Counting is already slow, as long lines in some polling stations meant that polling is going to continue late into the evening. The counting of absentee ballots is going to be long and tedious, as identity checking and verification is going to take time. In both in-person and postal ballots, there are chances of legal challenges too, complicating and delaying the process futher.

Counting of these, particularly postal ones, is going to be slow, as it has to be thorough and could see many legal challenges, particularly from the Trump camp. Some media reports are saying that the results may not be complete untill Wednesday evening, local time. That's mainly becase the battlegound states also saw high percentage of early voting. When the results reach a deadheat situation, particularly in battleground states, legal challenges and demands for recounts could follow. In cases of razor-thin victory margins, this could be more pertinent. Election rules vary by state, but generally speaking, many states allow for recounting if the margin is narrow, or by a percentage points. If this happens in cases where the absolute number of votes is in tens of thousands, counting could take more hours, or perhaps another day, to finsh.

While the elections took place on November 3, the final electoral college results came in on November 7 after days of counting and recounting. That's a far cry from 2016, when Trump, fighting the race for the first time, was declared winner on election night itself, as his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton conceded. So, given Trump's penchant for litigation and unfounded vote-rigging allegations, the only scenario where the results could come at the end of Election Night is if he is at an unassailable lead in the electoral college voting. That appears unlikely as, at the time of writing, Trump is ahead in 188 seats, with Harris closing in at nearly 100, with most battleground state results yet to come in. (With inputs from agencies)
