Kamala Harris US Election Results 2024 LIVE Updates: Former US President Donald Trump Claims Victory After Tough Battle

Kamala Harris 2024 US election results LIVE Updates: Democratic candidate and US Vice President Kamala Harris is in the presidential race against former US President and Republican candidate Donald Trump. The Democratic candidate has already claimed Delaware, the home state of US President Joe Biden. However, she seems to be lagging behind when it comes to the magic number of 270, while Donald Trump maintains his lead.

Who is Kamala Harris?

Kamala Harris is the first black woman and the first person of South Asian descent to run for president in the United States. The 60-year-old candidate has South Asian roots dating back to her mother, Shyamala Gopalan, who hails from Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu.

What does Kamala Harris’ victory mean for India?

A possible Kamala Harris administration could further bilateral relations between the two countries, due to its Indian origins and favorable foreign policy priorities. It’s unclear how Kamala Harris will respond to the tariffs, but her platform focused on taxing the rich and giving breaks to the middle class.

According to experts, if Kamala Harris is elected to power, she will continue most of the trade policies established under the outgoing Joe Biden administration and strengthen diplomatic, economic and cultural ties. Cooperation in strategy, defense, trade, health and climate change could continue, as has been the case under the Biden administration, they said.

Target areas for these policies include economic resilience, domestic manufacturing and reducing dependence on global supply chains. Kamala Harris is expected to resonate with India’s strategic interests and continue the legacy of the United States’ strong stance against Russia’s war in Ukraine. The former US prosecutor and senator could also play a decisive role in curbing Chinese influence in Asia.

However, President Biden’s “accommodative” approach to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government may see some divergence, given Kamala Harris’s reservations as senator over the revocation of Article 370, which removed the special status of Jammu and Kashmir in August 2019.

When to check the results?

Typically, American media outlets begin their screenings shortly after the polls close on election night – the evening of November 5 in the United States and the morning of November 6 in India.

A candidate must obtain at least 270 of the 538 votes (Electoral College) to become President of the United States. However, if voting is very close in swing states and there are large numbers of mail-in ballots, the overall winner may not be clear until hours or even days after election night.

According to many polls, the race is effectively tied. The 47th US president will be inaugurated on January 6 next year.

The world awaits the answer to a major question on November 5 (evening).

Will America see a woman elected to power for the first time or will it welcome a second presidential term for Donald Trump?
