Meanwhile, six Indian Americans have been elected to the US House of Representatives, expanding the 'Samosa Caucus’, a group of Indian-origin members in Congress.

US Election 2024: Elon Musk to spend election evening with Trump in Palm Beach

As the United States general election nears the finishing line on Tuesday (Nov 5), there have been reports of 'bomb threats' of Russian origin, apart from bad weather and voting machine glitches that led to delays or extensions of polling time.

The email threats were described by authorities and the FBI as 'non-credible' amid reports that foreign adversaries including Russia and China were trying to disrupt the US election process.

There have been some arrests, amid long lines that broke records in some states as Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris race for the White House in a supertight presidential election.

The bomb threats were received over email at some polling stations in the states of Michigan, Wisconsin and Georgia, leading to delays as law enforcement cleared the areas.

The FBI said the threats "appear to originate from Russian email domains" adding that no threat was credible thus far.

In Georgia, a key battleground state, the bomb threats were reported in Union City near the capital Atlanta, leading to the temporary shutting of two polling stations, CNN reported citing Nadine Williams, Fulton County Registration and Elections Director.

Similarly, a station was evacuated in the state's Gwinnett County for nearly an hour over a bomb threat, local police said.

In Michigan, bomb threats that were initially reported to be serious were found non-credible after a probe, CNN quoted the state's Attorney General Dana Nessel as saying.

All bomb threats were traced to email IDs with domains registered in Russia.

Some polling stations saw delays due to voter ID checking, and malfunctioning voting machines in an election closely scrutinised, vote by vote.

Election officials are seeking to prevent a repeat of 2020 when Trump claimed fraud, which he appeared to repeat already through some social media posts on Tuesday.

CNN cited Cait Conley, senior adviser at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, as saying that there were no significant national-level incidents impacting election security.

The turnout has been impressive, with Michigan breaking the record that it already holds for the largest number of votes polled.

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

US Election Result 2024: 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.

Unless that is, the pollsters were wrong and one candidate has a very clear, unassailable lead in the electoral college votes.

The majority mark for the Electoral College votes is 270, out of 538.

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 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.&nbsp;

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.&nbsp;

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.

US Election Result 2024: 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.

Hezbollah's leader on Wednesday (Nov. 6) announced that the outcome of the US presidential election would not affect any potential ceasefire agreement to end the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.

"We don't base our expectations for a halt of the aggression on political developments... Whether (Kamala) Harris wins or (Donald) Trump wins, it means nothing to us," he said in a recorded address given before Trump declared his victory.

"We have tens of thousands of trained resistance combatants prepared to engage in combat," Naim Qassem said during a speech commemorating 40 days since his predecessor's death.

Qassem further cautioned that no location in Israel would be considered "off-limits" for Hezbollah's attacks.

"What will stop this... war is the battlefield," he added, referencing ongoing clashes in southern Lebanon and Hezbollah's strikes on Israel.

This was Qassem's second address since being appointed Hezbollah’s secretary-general last week. He took over from the former leader, Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed in a major Israeli airstrike on Hezbollah’s stronghold in southern Beirut.

One of the strikes caused a loud explosion that was heard across much of the capital, according to witnesses cited by AFP.

Israel's military spokesperson, Avichay Adraee, warned residents to leave the southern suburbs of Burj al-Barajneh, Laylaki, and Haret Hreik in a post on X.

"You are located near facilities and interests affiliated with Hezbollah, against which the (military) will act in the near future," Adraee stated as Naim Qassem’s speech was being broadcast.

Earlier on Wednesday, Lebanon’s official National News Agency reported Israeli airstrikes on the eastern Bekaa Valley and the southern city of Nabatiyeh.

'It means nothing to us': Hezbollah chief says ceasefire with Israel won’t depend on US election result

Meta announced on Monday (Nov 6) that it would allow the US national security agencies and defence contractors to use its artificial intelligence (AI) model, Llama.&nbsp;

Meta's announcement came after Reuters reported that an old version of the AI model had been used to develop defence applications for the Chinese government's military wing.&nbsp;

With the announcement, it seems that Mark Zuckerberg's organisation had changed its typical policy of prohibiting the use of Llama for “military, warfare, nuclear industries or applications, [and] espionage”.

However, according to Bloomberg, the company made it clear that it is making an exception for the US agencies and contractors, along with similar national security agencies in the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

“These kinds of responsible and ethical uses of open source AI models like Llama will not only support the prosperity and security of the United States, they will also help establish US open-source standards in the global race for AI leadership,” Meta’s president of global affairs, Nick Clegg, wrote in a blog post.

Meta is opening up Llama to government contractors such as Amazon Web Services, Anduril, Booz Allen, Databricks, Deloitte, IBM, Leidos, Lockheed Martin, Microsoft, Oracle, Palantir, Scale AI, and Snowflake.

Meta emphasised the need to develop more advanced AI than China. And this is a key point that many US Congress members raise when discussing whether and how to regulate AI.

Clegg further wrote in the blog, “In a world where national security is inextricably linked with economic output, innovation and job growth, widespread adoption of American open-source AI models serves both economic and security interests.”&nbsp;

As Donald Trump returns to the White House with a clear victory, the disheartened Democrats are putting their last hope in the House.&nbsp;

The Democratic Party also lost control of the Senate on Tuesday&nbsp;(Nov. 5).&nbsp;

Donald Trump won the US presidency after defeating Kamala Harris&nbsp;by securing 277 votes. He becomes the second US president to regain office after losing it once and getting non-consecutive terms&nbsp;

Now, the Democrats have hopes with only the House, leaving the battle for the lower chamber as the Democrats’ last chance to control a lever of power in Washington and push back on the second Trump administration.

“In terms of the power trifecta, the House is the only hope for Democrats to maintain a check on our out of control Donald Trump,” Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.), a veteran of the lower chamber, told The Hill in an interview on Wednesday.

“The results tonight are grim … for the country, and Democrats offer those who believe in constitutional democracy the only hope of presence in the White House and an enabling Republican Senate,” he said, adding, “So a lot is hinging on district-by-district results tonight.”

Democrats have seen a ray of hope for that goal. They defeated at least two incumbent Republicans in New York Reps. Marc Molinaro and Brandon Williams, The Hill reported, citing the AP and Decision Desk HQ respectively, and appeared on track to pick off Rep. Anthony D’Esposito.&nbsp;

For Democrats to win control of the House, they need a net gain of at least four seats.&nbsp;

However, during the victory speech in West Palm Beach, Florida, Trump did not hesitate in declaring victory for House Republicans.&nbsp;

He predicted that he would have a House GOP majority alongside him in Washington next year.

“It also looks like we’ll be keeping control of the House of Representatives. And I want to thank Mike Johnson. I think he’s doing a terrific job,” he said, referring to the Republican House Speaker representing Louisiana.

Gerry Connolly (D-Va.), a veteran of the lower chamber, told The Hill in an interview on Wednesday. “The results tonight are grim … for the country, and Democrats offer those who believe in constitutional democracy the only hope of presence in the White House and an enabling Republican Senate,” he said, adding, “So a lot is hinging on district-by-district results tonight.” Watch | US Elections: Experts Opinion On The US Presidential Election × Democrats have seen a ray of hope for that goal. They defeated at least two incumbent Republicans in New York Reps. Marc Molinaro and Brandon Williams, The Hill reported, citing the AP and Decision Desk HQ respectively, and appeared on track to pick off Rep. Anthony D’Esposito. For Democrats to win control of the House, they need a net gain of at least four seats. However, during the victory speech in West Palm Beach, Florida, Trump did not hesitate in declaring victory for House Republicans. He predicted that he would have a House GOP majority alongside him in Washington next year. “It also looks like we’ll be keeping control of the House of Representatives. And I want to thank Mike Johnson. I think he’s doing a terrific job,” he said, referring to the Republican House Speaker representing Louisiana. (With inputs from agencies)

The family of an Iranian-German prisoner who died said on Tuesday (Nov 5) that they do not trust anything said about the Iranian government about his fate. Last week, Iran announced that Jamshid Sharmahd, 69, was executed.

The family of an Iranian-German prisoner who died said on Tuesday (Nov 5) that they do not trust anything said about the Iranian government about his fate. Last week, Iran announced that Jamshid Sharmahd, 69, was executed. However, an Iranian judiciary spokesperson said that Sharmahd had died in prison before his death sentence could be implemented. Speaking to the news agency AFP, Sharmahd's daughter Gazelle said, "We do not trust anything. We have to get proof from an independent investigation that is carried out outside of Iran." She said it was up to Germany and the United States (US) to investigate and provide proof of what happened to her father. 'Who has seen my father, who murdered my father?' "Immediately we asked, who has seen my father, who murdered my father? We need responsible governments who do their jobs and investigate," Gazelle told AFP.

"If Germany and the US think this kind of statement (from the Iranian judiciary) will free them from their obligations then this is not the case," Gazelle further said and pointed out that if her father's death was not an execution, then it was even worse. "This is murder and they (the German and US governments) are complicit," she further said. Who was Jamshid Sharmahd? Jamshid Sharmahd was a US-based Iranian-German software engineer. He was a permanent resident of the US. AFP reported that in the US, the 69-year-old helped develop a website for an opposition movement and hosted radio broadcasts critical of Iranian authorities. Sharmahd was tried and convicted after he was abducted in the United Arab Emirates in July 2020 by Iranian agents and forcibly brought to Iran. In his trial, Sharmahd was accused of involvement in a bombing against a mosque in 2008 in the southern city of Shiraz that killed 14 people as well as espionage, claims rejected by the United Nations Working Group. His case had long been shrouded in secrecy. There never were reports of fellow detainees having seen him, even though foreign passport holders are known to regularly cross paths in Tehran's Evin prison. AFP reported that during his captivity, Sharmahd made a handful of phone calls to his family but was never allowed to reveal where he was being held amid increasing concern over his health.

US Elections 2024: Trump Leading In Swing States North Carolina, Georgia

The road to the White House goes through swing states, and that's why Pennsylvania's position on USA's political map becomes so important. The swing state boasts 19 electoral votes, the most among seven swing states. On Monday (Nov 4), both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump spent time in Pennsylvania to attract as many voters as they could in the final leg of campaigning. Both candidates know winning Pennsylvania solves half of their problems.

Trump himself said Tuesday night that if he wins Pennsylvania, he wins “the whole deal.”

“We win Pennsylvania, we win the whole deal,” Trump told Rich Zeoli Show on Philadelphia’s Talk Radio 1210 WPHT.

“We’re going to make this country greater than ever before, but you have to stay in line. And don’t let them slow ball you. You have an absolute legal right and get that vote in because if we win Pennsylvania, if we win the good old Commonwealth, we’re going to win the whole thing. We win everything,” Trump said.

However, early trends showed Harris having a massive lead over Trump, with nearly 30 per cent votes counted. Harris got over 57 per cent votes, against Trump's 42 per cent, indicating that Trump may be in for a rude shock here.

But can Trump still become the US president without Pennsylvania turning a red state?

The answer is yes but a complicated one!

Winning Pennsylvania means Harris won't face much difficulty winning 245 Electoral College votes out of 270 required.

Without Pennsylvania, Trump would be hovering around 219 votes.

In that scenario, he would be needing 51 electoral votes from any of the six remaining swing states: Arizona (11), Georgia (16), Nevada (6), North Carolina (16), Michigan (15) and Wisconsin (10) to claim victory.
