US election 2024: Time to choose has come in too-close-to-call vote

The day has arrived: millions of Americans are set to head to the polls and choose between the two presidential candidates who remain neck and neck in the polls.

Democratic candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican former President Donald Trump, who have been embroiled in a relentless battle for votes for months, remain split by 1.2% in favour of Harris according to the latest polls Monday — a lead well within the margin of error.

Trump wrapped up his campaign trail with a final speech in Grand Rapids, in the swing state of Michigan he flipped back in 2016. Meanwhile, Harris concluded by pledging to “get to work” if elected in Philadelphia, another battleground state where incumbent Democratic President Joe Biden won by 1.2% in 2020.

Meanwhile, Europe and the rest of the world remain on tenterhooks as the result of the vote might lead to protests and legal challenges similar to the aftermath of the vote four years ago.
