Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, the two contenders for the 2024 US presidential election, wrapped up their electoral campaigns on Monday night, paving the way for Americans to cast their ballots in one of the most anticipated polls in the country.
While Trump, the Republican contender, is attempting to win a second stint at the White House, Harris — the incumbent Vice President and Democratic nominee — is vying to create history by becoming first female President of the US.
The 7 battleground states of Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania will play a key role in deciding the fate of Harris and Trump. The two will need at least 270 electoral votes to win the presidency.
