The Guardian reported on Thursday, October 24, that nearly 25 million Americans have already voted with records broken in multiple battleground states, at least partly driven by Republicans embracing early voting at Trump’s direction.

Either through in-person mail-in ballots or early voting, more than 1.9 million voters have cast early votes in Georgia, where Trump lost by a mere 11,779 votes in 2020 to the incumbent president, Joe Biden. North Carolina also set a new record of more than 1.7 million despite the chaos caused by Hurricane Helene in September.

According to Al Jazeera, Trump and Harris are neck-and-neck in swing (battleground) states.

Legit.ng reports that the 2024 US presidential election is set to be held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024. Voters in each state and the District of Columbia will choose electors to the Electoral College, who will then elect a president and vice president for a term of four years.
