• Americans are heading to the polls to vote for their next president. Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump each need at least 270 electoral votes to win. The battleground states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are expected to be pivotal to the path to victory.
• Polls are starting to open across the country. Harris and Trump tied with three votes each in the tiny New Hampshire community of Dixville Notch, which opened and closed its poll just after midnight ET in a decades-old tradition.
• The candidates held their final campaign events in battleground states last night. Harris ended her 107-day campaign in Pennsylvania, while Trump spoke in Michigan — where he has ended three of his presidential campaigns.

Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris go head-to-head at the ballot boxes across America today, November 5, 2024, in a race to determine the next President of the United States.
As the first polling stations opened on Election Day, Democratic vice president Harris, 60, and Republican former president Trump, 78, are dead-even in the tightest and most volatile White House race of modern times.
Heute finden die Präsidentschafts- und Kongresswahlen in den USA statt. An der Ostküste sind die ersten Urnen geöffnet.
Both campaigns say they have laid the groundwork to win. Both think they have the correct rationale for why they should win.
According to polling conducted the last two days of October by the Council on American Islamic Relations of “1,449 verified Muslim voters,” Green Party candidate Jill Stein is marginally ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris with America’s 2.5 million voters of the Islamic faith.
“42% now favor Stein for president while 41% favor Harris. This is a statistical tie similar to the 29% support each candidate received in CAIR’s late August survey,” the group is announcing.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today announced that the results of its latest and final poll of Muslim voter preferences in the 2024 presidential election show that 42% now favor Green Party nominee Jill Stein for president while 41% favor Vice President Kamala Harris. This is a statistical tie similar to the 29% support each candidate received in CAIR’s late August survey.

Hinchcliffe—a roast comic who hosts the podcast “Kill Tony”—opened Sunday’s rally as one of many speakers before Trump, and said: “There’s a lot going on. I don’t know if you know this, but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico.”
The remark was met with uncertainty by the crowd, leading Hinchcliffe to laugh and say, “okay, we’re getting there, again, normally I don’t follow the national anthem.”
Trump campaign senior advisor Daniella Alvarez said in a statement to Forbes following the rally the “joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign.”
t‘s Thursday, October 24.
As some of you might have noticed, I was not here the last few days, but I am appreciative of Michael Tracey, the intrepid independent journalist, who sat in for me one night and of our excellent team who put together two great shows in my absence so that we weren‘t off the air even one night. But I‘m very happy to be back.
Tonight: From the moment Democratic Party elites imposed Kamala Harris on their party and then on the country, the most glaring weakness of her candidacy was manifest from the very beginning: she has no actual views or policy she‘s willing or able to express – to the point that they actually kept her away from any unscripted interviews, and her campaign site had no issue positions of any kind for weeks, not even vague banalities. The campaign strategy could not have been any clearer: to replicate Hillary Clinton‘s 2016 tactic of featuring as the overarching message that you should vote for her because she‘s not Donald Trump.
Luntz warned the shift in the Harris campaign could cost her the White House as voters demand more details about her.
“The fact is Donald Trump is defined,” he explained. “He’s not gaining, he’s not losing. He is who he is, and his vote is where it is. She is less well defined, and if she continues just to define this race as ‘vote against Trump,’ she’s going to stay where she is now and she may lose.”
A new ABC News-Ipsos poll, conducted from Oct. 4-8, showed that among likely voters, Harris led Trump 50 percent to 48 percent, within the poll’s margin of error. Last month, the same poll found Harris at 51 percent support among likely voters compared to Trump at 46 percent.
An NBC News poll also conducted from Oct. 4-8 and showed an even split between Trump and Harris, with each garnering 48 percent support among registered voters. In that same poll last month, Harris was up by five points — another result within the poll’s margins.
Republican nominee and former President Donald Trump has seized on Biden’s challenges in the Middle East, framing his own administration as one that delivered “peace in the Middle East.”
Speaking in Michigan, Trump told voters, “They want strength in the Oval Office, law and order, and common sense.” Trump’s comments resonated with many Arab American voters, a demographic with significant concerns over the ongoing violence.
With just more than a week to go before Election Day, the contest continues to hinge on the states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and North Carolina.
Polling between the two candidates in all seven states remains incredibly tight, suggesting the race could be one of the closest in American history.
A new USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll places Harris at 45% and Trump at 44%.
In August, the same poll found that Harris was ahead of Trump 48% to 43% on the heels of the Democratic National Convention.
Trump leads Harris 45 percent to 43 percent among the key demographic with two weeks to go until voters choose the next US president, according to the Arab News/YouGov poll released on Monday. (…)
In a poll released by the Arab American Institute earlier this month, Trump and Harris were virtually tied at 42 percent to 41 percent, respectively.
Harris’s level of support among Arab Americans in the poll was 18 points below where Biden’s was in 2020.
With a month to go before what is widely expected to be an extraordinarily close election, an extra element of unpredictability looms: In every battleground state, there is at least one third-party or independent presidential candidate on the ballot.
None of these candidates will come anywhere close to winning the presidency. Jill Stein, the Green Party nominee, is polling at about 1 percent nationally, according to New York Times polling released last week. Same with Chase Oliver, the Libertarian Party candidate.
Harris maintained the same stance she has previously shared regarding the war in Gaza: She condemned Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack while expressing support for a cease-fire and a two-state solution.
“Israel has a right to defend itself,” Harris said. “It is also true far too many innocent Palestinians have been killed—children, mothers. What we know is that this war must end.”
When asked about the war in Gaza, both candidates reached for their usual talking points.
Harris said she backs a ceasefire deal in Gaza that would see the release of Israeli captives, but she renewed her pledge to continue to arm Israel. She also voiced support for the two-state solution. (…)
For his part, Trump reiterated his position that the war in the Middle East would not have broken out if he were in office. He also accused Harris of having a bias against Israel.

„Do you believe you bear any responsibility in the way that withdrawal played out?“ Harris was asked by a moderator.
„Well, I will tell you, I agreed with President Biden‘s decision to pull out of Afghanistan.“ she said.
„Four presidents said they would and Joe Biden did.“
During the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, 13 U.S. service members were killed in a terrorist attack.
If Democrats were concerned about anything amounting to a repeat of Biden’s shoddy debate performance in late June, which led to his dropping out, it was quickly erased. Harris returned to the form that made her the runaway winner of the early 2020 Democratic primary debates.
More than that, though, with a premium on Trump defining the lesser-known Harris, she made sure the debate was overwhelmingly about Trump and his less-appealing traits.
When viewers turn on Tuesday’s presidential debate, they may recognize David Muir, who hosts the most-watched news program in television, ABC’s “World News Tonight.” But they may be less familiar with his co-moderator Linsey Davis, who has risen through the network’s ranks over the past 17 years and now gets the biggest test — and opportunity — of her career:
State of play: The face-off Tuesday in Philadelphia‘s National Constitution Center won‘t have a live audience and also won‘t feature live mics despite Harris‘ push for the feature.
Demoralized by the Biden administration’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war, Palestinian American Samia Assed found in Vice President Kamala Harris’ ascension — and her running mate pick — “a little ray of hope.”
That hope, she said, shattered during last month’s Democratic National Convention, where a request for a Palestinian American speaker was denied and listening to Harris left her feeling like the Democratic presidential nominee will continue the U.S. policies that have outraged many in the anti-war camp.
According to the New York Times polling averages, Kamala Harris and Donald J. Trump are locked in an extremely tight contest heading into their first debate Tuesday. Neither candidate has a clear lead in the battleground states likeliest to decide the Electoral College.
While Harris has seen waves of enthusiasm for her 2024 bid since she was endorsed by President Joe Biden after he ended his reelection campaign, the surveys showing her not beating Trump in battleground states are largely consistent with polling companies‘ previous results.
Elsewhere, InsiderAdvantage swing-state polling shows that Trump is ahead of Harris in all but one of the remaining four major swing states.
Harris will appear alongside her vice presidential pick, Tim Walz, in a CNN primetime special airing at 9 p.m. ET from Georgia, where she is on a bus tour designed to put a swing state the GOP thought it was close to securing in November back on the board.
In addition to Biden‘s campaign, the coalition said that the campaign for former US President Donald Trump also refused the invitation.
The Republican presidential primary is over. Nikki Haley, the last remaining challenger to Donald Trump, plans to leave the race today, according to reports in The Wall Street Journal and other outlets, clearing the way for the former president to claim the GOP nomination.
Monday’s Supreme Court decision appeared certain to shut down those and other efforts to remove the frontrunner for the GOP nomination from the ballot.
“States may disqualify persons holding or attempting to hold state office,” the court’s unsigned majority opinion read. “But states have no power under the Constitution to enforce Section 3 with respect to federal offices, especially the presidency.”
The Supreme Court ruled unanimously on Monday that former President Donald Trump can remain on Colorado’s presidential primary ballot, reversing an extraordinary state court ruling that had deemed him ineligible to run for the presidency and preventing future attempts by states to remove him from their ballots.
The decision, which came one day ahead of a slate of Super Tuesday primary elections from coast to coast, further cements Trump’s widening path to the Republican presidential nomination.
