NDTV Ground Report From New York: Will US Get Its 1st-Ever Female President?
The world has its eyes set on the US, which goes to polls in less than a week. Surveys indicate that the 2024 battle between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump is likely to be one of the most closely contested ones in recent US history. Highly unlikely, but a tie in the Electoral College - a 269-269 split - cannot be entirely ruled out. This election features 538 electoral votes distributed among the 50 US states and Washington, D.C., based on population. To win, a presidential candidate must attain at least 270 electoral votes.
