Voting Begins in US Presidential Election As Trump And Harris Face Off

Election day voting has officially begun in the United States, where Americans will choose between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris as the next president.

Harris has campaigned on promises to protect abortion rights and reduce food and housing costs for working families. In contrast, Trump has pledged to secure the US border and implement tax cuts worth trillions.

Besides the presidency, voters are selecting members of Congress, and in several states, key measures on issues like abortion rights are on the ballot.

With over 82 million people having cast their votes early, anticipation is high.

When results will be confirmed remains uncertain. It could be a matter of hours after polls close or take days, depending on vote processing across states.
