05.11.2024 โข The Day America Votes on a Knife's Edge
โจThe US presidential election dominated UK headlines, with reports focusing on the razor-thin margin between Harris and Trump. Early morning coverage highlighted heightened security measures, including White House barricades and bulletproof vests for election officials. As polls opened, the race was described as "tighter than a coin flip." Midday saw Trump and Melania casting their votes in Florida, with Trump expressing confidence despite criticizing ballot box issues. Harris made an unexpected stop at DNC headquarters. By evening, exit polls emerged, suggesting high female turnout potentially benefiting Harris, while indicating Trump's perceived strength on economic issues. Reports of Russian-linked bomb threats at polling stations added tension to the already charged atmosphere. Throughout the day, UK media maintained a critical distance, observing the unfolding events in America with keen interest.
