The Moment of Decision Has Arrived in America: The Test for Harris and Trump

Washington, New Delhi : The much-awaited moment has arrived in America to decide the direction for the next four years. Voting for the upcoming presidential election will begin here on Tuesday morning. A decision is expected late at night on who will reach the White House between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. The key question now is who American voters will choose as their next leader. Among the eight candidates, the main contest is between Kamala Harris of the Democratic Party, of Indian descent, and Republican Party's Donald Trump.

On the eve of the election, Donald Trump warned that if Harris wins, there is a threat of a third world war. In the final moments of campaigning, Harris attempted to win the hearts of African American and Arab-American voters. Opinion polls conducted in America show a tight competition between the 60-year-old Kamala Harris and the 78-year-old Donald Trump. Before the designated voting day, 77 million voters had already cast their votes through alternative methods.
