Vermont US Presidential Election 2024: Voting, Result info, Inclination and all you need to know

Vermont US Presidential Election 2024: The clock is ticking for the United States presidential elections, and with just a couple of days left for Election Day, on November 5, Democrat candidate Kamala Harris and her Republican rival Donald Trump are engrossed in hectic last-ditch campaigning, as both are locked in a dead heat in the seven battleground states that are likely to decide the outcome.

Harris is hopeful of robust support from Black voters and has also been trying to hold on to the Latino support. In 2020, President Joe Biden had garnered 92 per cent of Black votes along with the support of 59 per cent of Latino voters.

Harris is increasingly vociferous on the issues of abortion and reproductive autonomy to sway women voters in her favour, while poignantly pointing out that Trump’s win could lead to the possibility that Congress and the president could enshrine Roe in law or ban abortion nationwide.
