The Electoral College is a unique system used in the United States to elect the president and vice president. It consists of 538 electors, with each state allocated a number based on its population and congressional representation. During the presidential election, voters cast their ballots for electors pledged to their chosen candidate, and the candidate who secures a majority of the electoral votes (at least 270) wins the presidency. This system plays a crucial role in shaping the electoral process and influencing campaign strategies across the country.

US Elections: Kamala Harris Slams Trump's Remarks On Women

With US election just a few days away as of now we put the spotlight on the battleground state of Arizona. Watch this report to know more.

US Elections: What Are The Key Down-Ticket Factors In Arizona ?

During an interview with Tucker Carlson in Arizona on Thursday (October 31), Donald Trump suggested that Elon Musk and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could play “influential roles” in a possible second term as president.

Carlson questioned Trump on rumours that he might appoint Musk and Kennedy. Kennedy had initially launched an independent presidential bid but ended his campaign in August, offering his endorsement to Trump.

Carlson asked, “Do you think Bobby Kennedy and Elon Musk will be influential figures, without specifying what roles they would have in your administration?”

Trump responded, “Yeah, I do.”

Trump also criticised Kamala Harris and referred to Liz Cheney as a “war hawk,” suggesting that she should experience the front lines herself to “see how she feels about it.” Cheney, a former congresswoman, has emerged as one of Trump’s more vocal Republican critics.

During their conversation, Trump criticised Cheney, whose father, former vice-president Dick Cheney, played a major role in the Iraq invasion. “Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her. Let’s see how she feels about it when the guns are pointed at her.”

Recent polls have indicated that Trump holds a slight lead in Arizona. The interview was framed as a fundraiser for Hurricane Helene relief efforts, a cause fundamental in North Carolina, another battleground state.

“We’re facing an enemy from within. We have some very bad and dangerous people who want to bring down our country, perhaps turn it into a communist or fascist state by any means,” Trump continued. “But these are the greatest con artists. As soon as I mentioned an enemy from within, they quickly jumped on it … calling it an enemy from within. These people are sick puppies.”

Trump also hinted at the possibility of election fraud, suggesting he would claim cheating if he loses in Tuesday’s presidential election. He told Carlson he’s currently leading and implied that “only cheating” could prevent his victory.

“I believe we’re leading by a lot, and … if we can keep the cheating under control because there are a bunch of cheats, we’re going to have a tremendous victory. I think it’ll go down as one of the greatest victories of all time.”

Trump hints at key roles for Elon Musk, RFK Jr. if he wins; claims only ‘cheating’ would cause election loss

The US election on November 5 is a big deal, not only for Americans but also for international students who are paying close attention to how results could change things.

The US election on November 5 is a big deal, not only for Americans but also for international students who are paying close attention to how results could change things. Although neither Donald Trump nor Kamala Harris specifically mentions international students in their campaigns, they do talk a lot about immigration, which could affect the lives and future plans of students from abroad. Optional Practical Training (OPT) programme, H-1B For international students, one major benefit of studying in the US is the chance to stay and work for a while after graduation through the Optional Practical Training (OPT) programme. OPT allows them to get job experience, which can be a step towards longer-term visas like the H-1B. But whoever wins the election may change immigration and work visa rules. Currently, the US limits H-1B visas to 65,000 per year, with an additional 20,000 for US graduate degree holders. For 2024, about 781,000 people applied, but only 24 of them were selected to proceed, reflecting high competition for this visa. Harris supports increasing skilled worker visas like the H-1B, while Trump’s administration might impose stricter immigration rules, mainly affecting unskilled workers but not as much in the IT sector. This could mean a mix of outcomes for international students looking to work in the US. How will Trump's immigration policies affect international students? Trump’s 2024 campaign message on immigration includes securing borders and reclaiming national sovereignty, which isn’t seen as positive for international students. In the past, he talked about deporting non-US citizens, seeing them as a burden. However, Trump recently suggested offering automatic green cards to international students who finish college in the US, to encourage them to stay rather than return to countries like India or China, where he says they often become very wealthy. Also read: Trump rides garbage truck in uniform for supporters at Wisconsin rally Trump’s campaign also focuses on opposing “globalism,” and his approach toward China could mean fewer Chinese students enrolling in US schools, which might hurt international student numbers overall. Right now, Chinese students make up over a quarter of international enrolments in the US. During Trump’s last term, he enacted a “Travel Ban” affecting mostly Musilm-majority West Asian countries. His 2024 campaign says he would bring this ban back, though there aren’t clear details on which countries or visa types it would cover. In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Trump’s campaign promised to “expand the Travel Ban on entry from terror-plagued places.” How will Harris' immigration policies affect international students? The Biden-Harris administration has pushed for expanding legal immigration, including through a failed bipartisan border deal that would have raised limits on employment-based visas. Harris has supported this, though she hasn’t shared much more on her plans for legal immigration, except for a “pathway to citizenship.” Harris vs Trump on US college protests The election has also seen candidates respond to recent pro-Gaza protests on over 100 US campuses. Trump and other Republicans are calling for the revocation of visas for foreign students involved in these protests, with Trump’s campaign post stating it would “revoke the student visas of radical anti-American and anti-Semitic foreigners” and deport “pro-Hamas radicals” to make campuses “safe and patriotic.” Harris has been more reserved on this issue. In a July interview, she recognised the feelings behind the protests, saying, “They are showing exactly what the human emotion should be, as a response to Gaza,” though she did not fully agree with all protest points. An open letter from the American Council on Education, representing over 1,600 colleges and universities, urged both candidates to support international students. They noted that international students “enrich our campuses and contribute greatly to US innovation and economic growth.” (With inputs from agencies)

The US is all set for its next presidential election on November 5. And there's a great anxiety among voters and the rest of the world regarding who will win.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
But there is another important question, what will Trump's supporters do if Kamala Harris wins this race for the White House?

The Republican nominee has said, multiple times, that the only way he can lose this election is by fraud by the Democrats.&nbsp;

The former president is prepared to question Harris' victory in the polls (If she wins).&nbsp;

While Trump's supporters are&nbsp;planning to overturn Harris' potential victory saying they are certain that "if this election will be fair," nobody can stop Trump from reentering the White House.&nbsp;

"Make America Great Again" (MAGA), a slogan of Trump's election campaign and a political movement in his support, is ready with ways to undermine a potential victory for the vice president.&nbsp;

"January 6 will be pretty fun," the MAGA activists said while talking to CNN, indicating that if (by any chance) Harris wins this election, there will be violence on January 6, 2025.&nbsp;

The MAGA world, not general followers of Trump but also influential names, is laying a "step-by-step" plan and preparing its followers for a "stolen election."&nbsp;

The movement includes Ivan Raiklin, who played the most significant part in Trump calling the 2020 US presidential election "cheating and fraud." Rocklin, who calls himself "Trump's Secretary of Retribution," recently said that he had prepared a "target list" of more than 350 people he will go after in Donald Trump's second term in the White House.

The MAGA world's mission to overturn Harris' potential win also included Michael Flynn, the former president's national security advisor.&nbsp;

Doug Emhoff, an attorney based in Los Angeles and the second-gentleman of the United States, began to date Kamala Harris, the 49th Vice President of the country, in 2013. After almost a year of being together, Douglas proposed to Harris in March 2014 during a trip to Florence, Italy. Harris agreed, and a wedding on August 22, 2014, blended Indian and Jewish traditions. Emhoff is the first Second Gentleman of the United States and the first Jewish spouse of a vice president.

<h2>Who Is Doug Emhoff's Ex-Wife?</h2>

This was Emhoff's second marriage to Harris. He was earlier married to Kerstin, with whom he had two children, Cole and Ella.

Emhoff and Kerstin got married in 1992 and divorced 17 years later in 2010. The split happened due to Emhoff's extramarital affair with a teacher at his children’s school, according to People. However, they worked through things after divorce and now share a healthy relationship. Almost two years after their marriage, Kerstin gave birth to their first child, son Cole, on Sept. 15, 1994. Five years later, on May 29, 1999, their daughter, Ella, was born.

Kerstin did her graduation from Boston University in 1990 in film, cinema and video studies. In 2007, she founded a production company by the name Prettybird that specialised in branded and music content.

The production company has worked on a number of notable projects, including Beyoncé’s 2016 “Formation” music video.

“I’m going to do it, whether the women like it or not. I’ve got to protect them. I’m going to protect them from migrants coming in. I’m going to protect them from foreign countries that want to hit us with missiles and lots of other things," Trump said at a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin.&nbsp;

Harris took to social media and said, "Donald Trump thinks he should get to make decisions about what you do with your body. Whether you like it or not.”

A Harris campaign spokesperson, Sarafina Chitika, also shared a post on social media, saying that Trump "thinks he knows better than the women of America."

Further, as the statements got heated up, Trump campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said, "Harris may be the first woman Vice President but she has implemented dangerously liberal policies that have left women worse off financially and far less safe than we were four years ago under President Trump."

"Women deserve a President who will secure our nation’s borders, remove violent criminals from our neighborhoods, and build an economy that helps our families thrive — and that’s exactly what President Trump will do," Leavitt added.&nbsp;

US Presidential nominee Kamala Harris hit back at Republican nominee Donald Trump after he vowed to "protect" women "whether the women like it or not" at a rally in Wisconsin on Wednesday (Oct 30). Less than a week is left for the US presidential elections, with Harris and Trump making their final pitches and arguments to win people's hearts. “I’m going to do it, whether the women like it or not. I’ve got to protect them. I’m going to protect them from migrants coming in. I’m going to protect them from foreign countries that want to hit us with missiles and lots of other things," Trump said at a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Harris took to social media and said, "Donald Trump thinks he should get to make decisions about what you do with your body. Whether you like it or not.” A Harris campaign spokesperson, Sarafina Chitika, also shared a post on social media, saying that Trump "thinks he knows better than the women of America." Further, as the statements got heated up, Trump campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said, "Harris may be the first woman Vice President but she has implemented dangerously liberal policies that have left women worse off financially and far less safe than we were four years ago under President Trump." "Women deserve a President who will secure our nation’s borders, remove violent criminals from our neighborhoods, and build an economy that helps our families thrive — and that’s exactly what President Trump will do," Leavitt added.

The United States is made up of 50 states, but when it comes to Presidential elections, some states matter more than others. These are called Swing States because they literally swing the results between either party in the race. But why are they so important, we will understand just that...

US Elections 2024: What Are Swing States, Why Are They Important?

The United States Congress is divided into two main parts: the Senate and the House of Representatives. The House is a critical body responsible for creating and passing federal laws, giving direct representation to the people.

<h2>How many members are in the House of Representatives and how are they elected?</h2>

The House of Representatives is made up of 435 members who are elected every two years by people living in congressional districts across the country. Under Article 1, Section 2 of the Constitution, each state’s voters elect House members every two years, with every state having at least one representative.

<h2>How are the numbers of House seats in each state decided?</h2>

House seats are allocated to states based on population, which is reviewed every 10 years through the national census. Unlike the Senate, where each state has two senators, the number of House seats a state receives varies, with larger states having more. Every state, however, has a minimum of one representative. Population-based representation has been an essential feature of the House since the beginning, allowing it to adapt to population shifts over time.

<h2>Has the number of House members always been the same?</h2>

In the early years, the number of House members grew with each new census, but in the 1910s, the size was capped at 435 members. This number briefly increased to 437 in 1959 when Alaska and Hawaii became states, but then returned to 435. After each census, the number of seats assigned to each state is adjusted based on population changes, which means some states may gain seats, while others may lose some.

<h2>What is the eligibility to be a House representative?</h2>

Candidates for the House need to meet three main qualifications: they must be at least 25 years old, have been US citizens for at least seven years, and live in the state they plan to represent. These rules aim to ensure that representatives have a good understanding of their state's concerns and needs.

<h2>Who controls the House?</h2>

At present, the Republican Party holds a slim majority in the House, having gained control in the 2022 midterm elections. Of the 435 seats, Republicans hold 220, while Democrats have 212, with three seats currently vacant.

<h2>How has the House’s membership changed over time?</h2>

The House initially started with 59 members and quickly grew as more states, like North Carolina and Rhode Island, joined the Union. By 1912, due to population growth, the House set a limit of 435 members, a number that has stayed the same since.

The structure and population-based distribution of the House of Representatives play a key role in ensuring that Congress reflects the country’s evolving demographics.

US elections: All you need to know about the House of Representatives

Immigration remains an important and contentious topic in the 2024 US election. Former president Donald Trump has adopted a firm stance, aiming to deport large numbers of immigrants and refugees, whereas Vice President Kamala Harris has indicated she would uphold the Biden administration’s policies with her own adjustments.

Immigration remains an important and contentious topic in the 2024 US election. Former president Donald Trump has adopted a firm stance, aiming to deport large numbers of immigrants and refugees, whereas Vice President Kamala Harris has indicated she would uphold the Biden administration’s policies with her own adjustments. How will President Trump affect immigration policies? Throughout the campaign and debates, Trump has repeatedly accused Harris of supporting “open borders.” He has also wrongly claimed that immigrants are responsible for a rise in crime. His argument that immigration is “out of control” has become a main point in his campaign. One of his biggest promises is to deport millions of undocumented immigrants if he wins. Also read: Trump told Netanyahu to end Gaza war ‘before he returns to office’: Report Additionally, the 78-year-old Trump has proposed ending birthright citizenship for children born to immigrants residing illegally in the US, a move that has raised concerns within various immigrant communities, including those from Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan. Many pro-immigration groups have criticised Trump’s stance, especially his push to end birthright citizenship. They argue that this right is protected by the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution. At a recent rally, Trump accused Harris, 60, of allowing "migrant gangs and illegal alien criminals" into the country, calling her approach to immigration “a crime against our country.” How will immigration policies change under Kamala Harris? On the other side, Vice President Harris, running as the Democratic candidate, has talked about reducing illegal immigration and described the current system as “broken.” She believes it needs new laws to make it work better. Rather than focusing on harsh policies, Harris says she wants to improve border security and help people seeking asylum with fair processing. She claims this will address what she calls a "broken immigration system." Harris has also argued that Trump’s focus on punishment and conflict is a distraction from important issues like the economy and healthcare. She believes a more compassionate approach would serve the country better. The election outcome is expected to have significant implications for US immigration policy. If Trump wins, the policies will probably get tougher, while a Harris administration would aim to introduce reforms balancing security concerns with humanitarian priorities.

As US elections are just around the corner, the tight race between Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and Republican nominee Donald Trump is getting even more intense.

As far as global politics is&nbsp;concerned, whoever wins between Trump and Harris&nbsp;is going to bring some differences in world dynamics.

<h2>Impact on NATO&nbsp;</h2>

If Trump gets elected, NATO cannot expect much support from the US government then, as the Democratic nominee has made it clear&nbsp;that he will not support those countries that spend less than 2 per cent of their GDP on defence.

However, if Kamala Harris wins, NATO gets full support from the US but not so easily if the senate and the congress – house of representatives – both fall into the hands of the Republicans.

<h2>West Asia crisis</h2>

The Democratic candidate has been repeatedly affirming Biden's support for Israel's “right to defend itself.” However, she has also stressed that "the killing of innocent Palestinians has to stop."

Meanwhile, Trump has also emphasised that it's time to get back to peace and stop killing people. He has also reportedly told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to “do what you have to do", which clearly gives Netanyahu a free hand to pursue what he wants.&nbsp;

Impact on Russia-Ukraine war&nbsp;

On the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Trump has never stepped back on reiterating his admiration for strongmen like Russian President Vladimir Putin. He has made it clear that he wants the war to end, assuring support from the US government in terms of military and finances. “I’ll get out. We got to get out,” he said in a recent rally.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, Democratic nominee Harris has clearly said that she is proud to stand with Ukraine. "I will continue to stand with Ukraine. And I will work to ensure Ukraine prevails in this war," she said.&nbsp;

How US presidential election could impact global political landscape

The 2024 United States presidential election is just days away, with a tightly contested race between Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump.

The 2024 United States presidential election is just days away, with a tightly contested race between Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump. While only Americans will vote, the choice between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump has far-reaching global impacts, from conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine to shifts in global trade. India-US relations under Trump versus Harris For India Technology and clean energy have been focal points in US-India relations recently, but this could shift if Trump returns to office. His firm stance on export controls and critiques of India’s tariff policies—often raised during his campaign—could bring new tensions in trade. What each candidate’s victory could mean for Israel and Palestine Amid Israel and Ukraine fighting wars the next president will face a world with the highest conflict risks since the Cold War. Polls indicate that if Israelis could vote, Trump would have significant support. Trump might give Israel an even freer hand in Gaza and elsewhere. Also read: Trump rides garbage truck in uniform for supporters at Wisconsin rally Harris has frequently echoed Biden's strong support for Israel's right to self-defence, while emphasising that “the killing of innocent Palestinians has to stop.” Trump has also stressed the need to “get back to peace and stop killing people,” though he has reportedly advised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to “do what you have to do.” Trump has positioned himself as a mediator, vowing, “I will have peace in the Middle East, and soon,” during an interview with Saudi Arabia’s Al Arabiya TV. The impact of the US election on Russia-Ukraine war This election is significant for Russia and Ukraine, too. Trump has blamed Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky for the Russian invasion, raising Ukrainian concerns that a Trump administration could push for a rapid peace deal that favours Russia. Harris, however, has pledged ongoing support for Ukraine, stating: “I have been proud to stand with Ukraine. I will continue to stand with Ukraine. And I will work to ensure Ukraine prevails in this war.” How NATO could be reshaped by the US election results NATO The United States accounts for two-thirds of the combined defence budgets of NATO's other 31 members. Trump has insisted on pressing NATO countries to meet their target of spending 2% of GDP on defence—only 23 nations have reached this goal in 2024. Trump has repeatedly mentioned the possibility of leaving NATO, which could create uncertainty within the alliance. In contrast, if Harris wins, she has expressed a commitment to cooperating with NATO and the European Union to support Ukraine’s success, although she also expects Europe to uphold its defence spending obligations.
