The race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump is reportedly ‘razor thin’
Donald Trump secured a lead in North Carolina, marking the first of the swing states to fall in his favor. Despite this, Kamala Harris's campaign remained hopeful, calling the race "razor thin" and emphasizing that her path to victory was through key swing states like Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
As per the latest updates, Donald Trump won Pennsylvania, securing 19 electoral votes and flipping the state back into the Republican column after Joe Biden's 2020 victory. Trump also claimed Georgia’s 16 electoral votes, while Kamala Harris won New Hampshire and Minnesota, continuing long-standing Democratic streaks in those states.
Donald Trump declared that his election would help the country heal and described it as a significant political achievement. However, environmentalist Sunita Narain warned that Trump’s presidency could undermine global climate efforts.
She expressed concern that Trump's stance on expanding fossil fuel production and rolling back key policies, such as the Inflation Reduction Act, could worsen the US's role in climate change and hinder progress on decarbonization and international climate financing.
As per The Hindu, residents of Thulasendrapuram, the village of Kamala Harris's maternal ancestors, expressed confidence that she would make a strong comeback, despite her apparent loss in the US presidential race.
