Four (4) days to election in the United States, democratic candidate Kamala Harris and its republican counter-part are going Neck-and-Neck in leading swing state of Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania is part of the so-called “Blue Wall”, along with Wisconsin and Michigan – areas which are absolutely essential to get to that Electoral College majority.
Harris is leading in both Wisconsin and Michigan by a very small margin, but in Pennsylvania, it’s absolutely neck-and-neck.
There are 19 votes Electoral votes on office in Pennsylvania.
Winning the “Blue Wall” would mean in all likelihood, the clearest path to the White House for whichever candidate does so.
In the same vein, the US justice department says it would deploy monitors during the election to ensure due process.
The department says in a statement that monitors will be present in 86 jurisdictions across 27 US states on Election Day to ensure compliance with federal voting rights laws.
The Justice Department regularly sends monitors across the country on Election Day to make sure federal laws are being followed at polling places.
The jurisdictions being monitored this Tuesday include Maricopa County, Arizona and Fulton County, Georgia, which in 2020 became the centre of election conspiracy theories spread by Donald Trump and other Republicans.
Other jurisdictions the Justice Department is sending monitors to include Miami-Dade County, Florida; Detroit, Michigan; Queens, New York; Providence, Rhode Island; Jackson County, South Dakota; and Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Also, the Democratic candidate is projected to lose a segment of her party’s traditional share of Indian American voters – who have historically sided with the Democrats – in the 2024 United States election, a new survey of the community’s political attitudes has found.
Even though Harris could become the first-ever Indian American president of the US, a survey by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace has found that she is likely to secure fewer votes from the community than incumbent President Joe Biden did in 2020.

In another development, the republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has said that “we have to get Lebanon conflict ‘over with.”
Speaking to an audience including Arab Americans in Dearborn, Trump says it is time to end the war in Lebanon.
The country has witnessed intense Israeli bombardment since mid-September.
“I know many people from Lebanon and we have to get this whole thing over with,” Trump said.
