WASHINGTON—Election Day is upon us. In a matter of hours, the final votes in the 2024 presidential election will be cast. In a deeply divided nation, the election is a true toss-up between Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump.
This combination of file photos shows Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris, left, speaking at a campaign rally in Charlotte, N.C., on Sept. 12, 2024, and Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump speaking at a town hall campaign event in Warren, Mich., on Sept. 27, 2024.
Harris would become the first female president in the United States’ 248-year history. She would also be the first Black woman and person of South Asian descent to hold the office. Harris and her campaign have largely played down gender and race fearing that they might alienate some supporters. But the significance of a Harris win would not be lost on historians.
Four years earlier, the 2016 election was decided just hours after most polls closed. The AP declared Trump the winner on election night at 2:29 a.m. . In North Carolina, Harris’ margins in Wake and Mecklenburg Counties, home to the state capital of Raleigh and the state’s largest city, Charlotte, respectively, will reveal how much Trump will need to squeeze out of the less-populated rural areas he has dominated.
Harris plans to attend an Election Night party at Howard University in Washington, a historically Black university where she graduated with a degree in economics and political science in 1986 and was an active member of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority.Harris said Sunday that she had “just filled out” her mail-in ballot and it was “on its way to California.”On the eve of Election Day, it’s unclear which voters will show up to cast ballots on Tuesday.
