The United States is set to vote on Tuesday (Nov. 5) in the presidential election, with Democrat Kamala Harris facing off Republican Donald Trump. Polling will begin between&nbsp;7 am and 9 am local time in most states and will close at different times accordingly, but most polling stations will close between 7 pm Eastern Time and 11 pm Eastern Time.

As per the Associated Press, nearly 78 million people have already participated in early voting.

<h2>When will counting begin?</h2>

The counting of votes begins as soon as the polls close. Results normally start coming in hours after the first polls close at 7 pm ET. However, results in different counties and states will be spread quite widely apart since some states count votes faster. Besides, polls in states in the west close much later, so the first projections from there might only come when some of the eastern states have already been called.

States follow their own rules and methods to count the ballots, which again means that results might not be known for days in some of them. Legal challenges also often delay results.

The winner of the popular vote is normally announced early. Results in states known for being red (Republican) or blue (Democratic) for decades are also announced by election night or the next day.

<h2>Who is ahead in the national polls?</h2>

The race is quite tight, which also means the final results might take a long time. Most national polls put Kamala Harris ahead of Trump by only a slight margin.&nbsp;

<h2>Poll results</h2>

PBS News/NPR/Marist survey: Harris leads Trump by four points with 51 per cent support against Trump’s 47 per cent.

Morning Consult survey: Harris leads by two points. (49 per cent against Trump’s 47).

&nbsp;

ABC/Ipsos poll: Trump is trailing here as well, but only by three points. Harris stands at 49 per cent whereas Trump is at 46 per cent.

NBC News and Emerson College: It's a tie in these polls, with both candidates getting 49 per cent&nbsp;each.

<h2>The Swing states</h2>

These are the states where the neck-and-neck race will really come into play. They can go either way and so a tussle can happen several ways. The key swing states are Pennsylvania (19 Electoral votes), North Carolina (16), Georgia (16), Michigan (15), Arizona (11), Wisconsin (10), and Nevada (6). They hold a total of 93 Electoral College votes.

To win the election, a candidate needs at least 270 out of 538 Electoral votes.

Georgia and North Carolina are expected to announce the first results. In Georgia, state law mandates that all early votes should be counted and reported by 8 pm ET on election night.

North Carolina is likely to announce the complete results by midnight.&nbsp;

Expect a delay of several days in Pennsylvania, since the state did not have a clear winner for four days during the 2020 election. It doesn't begin processing mail ballots until Election Day, so final results will take a few days.&nbsp;

Who is Rejani Raveendran, Indian-born college student & first Republican to challenge Democrat for Senate

2024 US Presidential election:&nbsp;&nbsp;With over a year left for the US presidential elections in 2024, politicians have started launching their campaigns. A new name has been added to the list. On May 22 (Monday), South Carolina's Republican Senator Tim Scott launched his presidential campaign, formally joining the race for the White House. He joins the former US president Donald Trump, former US envoy to United Nations Nikki Haley, conservative entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson.

Scott is the only Black Senator from the Republican party in the US Congress.

During the formal launch event, the 57-year-old politician&nbsp;mentioned his own personal story and experiences. He said&nbsp;he is the grandson of&nbsp;a cotton field worker raised by a single mother, and described how his family went from "cotton to Congress." He even shared his own racial division incidents, like how he was pulled over by police seven times in a year for being Black and was even stopped inside the US Capitol building.&nbsp;

As per BBC, Scott is entering the bid with $22 million in hand, which surely is much more than most of his rivals. However, as per national opinion polls, he is garnering less than 5 per cent support in the race.

Here's everything you need to know about the newest US presidential candidate:

Tim Scott: Life &amp; Political Career

Born on September 19, 1965, Timothy Eugene Scott is an American businessman and politician who is currently serving as a junior United States senator from South Carolina state since 2013.

Before becoming a Senator, he was elected to the US House of Representatives from South Carolina's 1st congressional district, where he served from 2011 to 2013.&nbsp;

He is the first African-American senator from South Carolina and the first African-American senator to be elected from the southern United States since 1881.

His most important legislative contributions includes working with Senator Cory Booker to pass a bill to make "lynching a federal hate crime."

Faith in America

In Scott's own words, he is a "living proof that America is the land of opportunity, not a land of oppression. The truth of my life disproves their lies."

Raised by a single mother, Scott said he became a believer again and claimed his faith is an integral part of his political and personal narrative, where he believes that being a positive catalyst can bring in change.

During his campaigns and stump speeches, he often used "Faith in America" to describe his appearance before joining the bid.&nbsp;

Scott in his presidential bid vowed to turn around "a nation in retreat."

Tim Scott's Presidential Bid Money:

Before joining politics, Scott was an insurance advisor. He also owns an insurance agency, Tim Scott Allstate.

As Scott is coming with much more money than his rivals, there are other organisations with million to support him and his efforts.&nbsp;

A pro-Scott action committee named Opportunity Matters Fund spent over $20 million to help Republicans in 2022 and reported $13 million plus in hand for 2023.&nbsp;

Who is Tim Scott, the only Black Senate Republican who launched 2024 US Presidential bid?

The White House on Friday said that United States President Joe Biden had a cancerous skin lesion removed last month, during his routine health screening. The president in the beginning of February had a physical exam which the White House said found him healthy and "fit for duty".

According to Guardian, Biden's physician Kevin O'Connor in a letter released to the press said, "All cancerous tissue was successfully removed. The area around the biopsy site was treated presumptively with electrodessication and curettage at the time of the biopsy. No further treatment is required."

However, the 80-year-old fit president has healed nicely after the treatment and will continue dermatologic surveillance as a part of his healthcare, the doctor added.&nbsp;

The letter also mentioned that the type of cancer found — basal cell carcinoma — does not spread generally.&nbsp;

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said basal and squamous cell carcinoma are the two most common types of skin cancers in the US.&nbsp;

The US Skin Cancer Foundation said that almost 3.6 million Americans&nbsp;are diagnosed every year with basal, and it is one of the most frequently occurring forms of all cancers, BBC reported.&nbsp;

Biden had several non-melanoma skin cancers removed in the past before he became the president of the US.&nbsp;

Similarly, back in January, First Lady Jill Biden had three lesions removed, two of which later tested positive for basal cell carcinoma.&nbsp;

Doctors advise that the best way to prevent skin cancer is to cover up and wear sunscreen lotions, even during winters.&nbsp;

This comes as the president is all set to announce his run for the 2024 elections.

US President Joe Biden believes he can once again beat his predecessor Donald Trump&nbsp;in a possible 2024 rematch, as both politicians seek a second term at the top.

"I believe I can beat Donald Trump again," he said during an interview with CNN. He was asked whether he was going to seek four more years in office and about his future prospects in the tussle with the Republican leader.

Recent polls reportedly show that a majority of Democrats do not want Biden to run for re-election.&nbsp;

A CNN poll found that 75 per cent of Democrats and Democratic-leaning voters want the party to nominate someone else, and 17 per cent of these want another nominee because of Biden's age. The US President will soon be turning 80.

“They’re concerned about whether or not I can get anything done. Look what I’ve gotten done. Name me a president in recent history that’s gotten as much done as I have in the first two years. Not a joke. You may not like what I got done, but the vast majority of the American people do like what I got done,” he told CNN.

“It’s a matter of, can you do the job? And I believe I can do the job. I’ve been able to do the job,” he added.

'Putin misjudged ability to invade Ukraine' 
 
He also discussed the ongoing Ukraine war and Russian President Vladimir Putin. He called Putin a "rational actor" who has misjudged his ability to invade Ukraine and the Ukrainian people.

Asked about the upcoming G20 meeting in Indonesia next month and the prospect of talks with the Russian president, Biden said it would depend on what Putin wanted to talk about. 
 
“But look, he’s acted brutally...I think he’s committed war crimes. And so I don’t, I don’t see any rationale to meet with him now.”

On Putin's nuclear threats

He also said that he didn't believe that Russia would ultimately use nuclear weapons, adding, "I think it’s irresponsible for him to talk about it, the idea that a world leader of one of the largest nuclear powers in the world says he may use a tactical nuclear weapon in Ukraine."

Biden added&nbsp;that as per him Putin's threats have had a destabilising effect and warned that an error in judgment in the use of these weapons could lead "to a horrible outcome".

"Not because anybody intends to turn it into a world war or anything, but just once you use a nuclear weapon, the mistakes that can be made, the miscalculations, who knows what would happen."

"The mistakes get made. And the miscalculation could occur, no one can be sure what would happen,"&nbsp;he said adding that such a "miscalculation" could end in Armageddon.
