Elections in the first nine US states have concluded, including swing states Georgia and North Carolina.
There are seven such states where a win would prove a genuine toss-up, namely Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Before election day, opinion polls indicated a win in any was too close to call.
Of the issues concerning voters, democracy is the most pressing one, followed by the economy. Voters who believed democracy to be at risk accounted for 73% of respondents, while 25% were assured in its security.
Abortion and immigration come at third and fourth in precedent matters.
Dark rhetoric, as in his racist statements, has driven Trump’s campaigns. Harris has claimed another Trump presidency would undo American democracy.
