U.S. Election's Global Impact and Domestic Stakes

The U.S. presidential election between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump is closely contested, with polls showing it too tight to call, reflecting past polling inaccuracies that underestimated Trump's support in 2016 and 2020. The results will have significant global implications, particularly affecting international relations with China, Russia, and Israel. Domestically, the election coincides with important local races such as the San Francisco mayoral election, drawing attention to issues like crime and homelessness. In Canada, the election is being watched with high interest due to its potential impact on bilateral relations and domestic policies like immigration and housing. The world is watching closely, with heightened anticipation and anxiety, as people gather to speculate on the outcome's effects on economic policies and markets, especially if there is a political sweep by either party. As Election Day approaches, the global focus is on how the results will shape future diplomacy and domestic agendas.
