Presidential Race Tightens Between Harris, Trump

As the U.S. presidential election approaches, polls indicate a tight race between Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican former President Donald Trump, with both candidates neck-and-neck in several key swing states including Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Arizona. The latest New York Times/Siena poll shows Harris narrowly leading or tied in most swing states, except for Arizona where Trump has a slight edge. Both candidates need to secure 270 electoral votes, with independent voters potentially being decisive. While Trump's national favorability remains around 43%, he has struggled to surpass 50% in past elections. Election night may not yield immediate results, with some states potentially taking hours or days to finalize their counts. Observers are wary of potential delays reminiscent of the contentious 2000 election, which could lead to extended uncertainty regarding the presidential outcome.
