Americans Head to the Polls for the 60th Presidential Election Today

Americans will head to the polls across the country’s 50 states later today.

Over 73 million ballots have already been cast in early voting. Tabulation of the results will begin in earnest today while an outcome awaits in the hours after polls close.

Kamala Harris and Trump spent the closing hours of their campaigns in key battleground states – Trump in North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Michigan, while Harris made four stops just in Pennsylvania Monday – the key focus on winning enough swing states to secure either candidate an Electoral College majority and thereby the White House.
