Race to the White House gets tighter
The Free Press Journal|October 29, 2024
In the ultimate analysis, it is the turnout on voting day that will make the difference. Who will be the leader of the socalled free world? The two choices before the American people are a narcissistic, self-absorbed tyrant or a woman who has worked her way up in the American system through grit and determination

With just about a week left for the US presidential election, the race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump is tighter than ever before. The Democratic and Republican candidates respectively are neck and neck and most polls suggest that it is too close to call though till recently Harris enjoyed a slight edge. Now, however, the momentum seems to have shifted to Trump. The seven swing states with 90 electoral college votes that will play a key role in the election are Nevada, Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Arizona. For the traditional White voter, Trump still offers hope with his Make America Great Again (MAGA) campaign. Whether the USA is ready to accept a woman and one of colour as the next head of state remains to be seen.
