US Elections Results: After a bitter election campaign, US voters will either make Democratic Kamala Harris the first woman president in the country's history or deliver Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump a second non-consecutive stint in the Oval office. 

Counting has begun for the US elections; US networks have projected that Donald Trump is winning 23 states and Kamala Harris 11. As for electoral college numbers, which will determine the winner in this election, the former President is ahead with 267 votes and Harris trails with 214. Each candidate is aiming for the magic figure of 270 electoral college votes.

As far as swing states are concerned, Trump is leading on six of the seven battleground states.

Donald Trump said he would be prepared to concede defeat after Tuesday's vote "if it's a fair election", while again raising concerns about the use of electronic voting machines. Trump, however, said he feels "very confident" about winning back the White House, after casting his Election Day ballot in Florida in one of the most contentious US elections in decades.

DONALD TRUMP | KAMALA HARRIS

A final outcome may not be known for several days if the results are as close as the polls suggest, adding to the tension in a deeply divided nation.

US Election Results: Indian-Origin Democrat Amish Shah Leads In Arizona US House Seat

Indian-origin Democrat Amish Shah has taken the lead in Arizona's first Congressional District election. He has taken a marginal lead against incumbent David Schweikert in an area that stretches across much of Scottsdale, Paradise Valley and Fountain Hills.

Mr Shah is leading with 51 percent of the vote share as opposed to Mr Schweikert's 49.1 percent, according to the New York Times.

Mr Shah, serving as an emergency room physician for 20 years, was previously elected to the Arizona House of Representatives in 2017. His focus is on issues like healthcare and raising teachers' salaries.

Both Trump and Harris have demonstrated an utter inability to learn from the past. While Trump got too bored of a decent, non-dramatic campaign just a few months into 2024 and unleashed his 2020 MAGA-man energy, Harris stubbornly refused to bring any course correction in her agenda on foreign policy issues despite her fellow Democrats' public castigation. This election has been the most extensive testimony of what a lot of analysts within the US, as well as outside, have observed but have largely refrained from verbalising: both the Democrats and the Republicans fashion their electoral campaigns around the faults of the other side while doing absolutely nothing about their own.

US Election 2024: Know About The 2 Swing States Kamala Harris Is Leading From

Democratic Party candidate Kamala Harris is leading in Arizona and Michigan, two of the seven swing states. Here is what you need to know about the two of the key states.

Arizona

Arizona was a nail-biter in the 2020 presidential election, with Biden securing a narrow victory of just 10,457 votes. Now, Trump is banking on voter dissatisfaction with the Biden-Harris administration's immigration policies to turn the state red again. As Arizona shares a border with Mexico, immigration is a hot-button issue, and Trump hopes to capitalise on frustrations with the current administration.

Michigan

Michigan, a state with 15 electoral votes, has traditionally been a Democratic stronghold, but Donald Trump's 2016 win shook things up. His appeal to white working-class voters secured his victory, dealing a surprise blow to Hillary Clinton's campaign. Fast forward to 2024, and Michigan's diversity could give Kamala Harris an edge, particularly since it's more diverse than other contested "blue wall" states. However, there is work involved when it comes to the Arab-American side of the state as they have expressed dissatisfaction with the way the war in Gaza has been handled by the Biden administration.

If Kamala Harris Wins, India-US Will See Broader Ties: Partnership Forum Chief

US-India Strategic Partnership Forum president Mukesh Aghi has told ANI that if Vice President Kamala Harris wins US presidency, there will be a "structural" approach in contrast to Donald Trump's "transactional" approach to US-India relations. Harris would look at India not only for trade but also with a much broader arena of partnership, said Mr Aghi.

He noted that Harris' approach would also include leveraging India's position in relation to China, recognising the importance of a joint effort to manage China's rise on the global stage.

"If Kamala Harris wins the presidency, there will be a continuation of the Biden approach, to look at India not only through the prism of trade but with a much broader partnership from the geopolitical, economic arena, technology and from people to people. Also leveraging India's position vis a vis China because there is a common platform. The US cannot handle China on its own and it needs partners," said Mr Aghi.
