US Election 2024 LIVE Updates: Kamala Harris and Donald Trump in tight contest in Georgia, North Carolina

US Election 2024 LIVE Updates: With the United States elections just days away, 61.0 million Americans have voted in the November election.

Voters participated in the presidential race between Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican former President Donald Trump by early voting by mail or in person.

In particular, North Carolina, which supported former President Obama in 2008, has moved toward Republicans in the last three presidential elections. In 2020, Trump defeated President Joe Biden in the state.

Joe Biden made history in Georgia by winning by less than 1 percentage point over Donald Trump four years ago; it was the first Democratic victory there since Bill Clinton in 1992.

In both Georgia and North Carolina, Harris is leading among black voters; He gets 84 percent to 13 percent of the vote in Georgia and 78 percent to 19 percent in North Carolina. He also receives 55 percent to 39 percent in Georgia and 53 percent to 42 percent in North Carolina among college-educated voters.

US Election 2024 LIVE: Trump sues CBS over Kamala Harris’ ’60 Minutes’ interview

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump sued CBS on Thursday over an interview with Democratic rival Kamala Harris that aired on the “60 Minutes” news program in early October, which the lawsuit claims was misleading, according to a court filing.

The complaint, filed in federal court in the Northern District of Texas, alleges that the channel broadcast two different answers Harris gave to a question about the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

The version aired during the “60 Minutes” appearance on Oct. 6 did not include Harris’ response to the lawsuit, which she called a “verbal salad” regarding the Biden administration’s influence on Israel’s conduct of the war. (Reuters)

US Election 2024 LIVE: Donald Trump gambles with late-stage trips to Democratic New Mexico and Virginia

Donald Trump is traveling to New Mexico and Virginia in the final days of the campaign, taking a risky detour from seven battleground states to spend time in places where Republican presidential candidates have failed to win in decades.

The former president campaigned in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on Thursday and is scheduled to visit Salem, Virginia, on Saturday.

The Trump team is projecting optimism based in part on early voting numbers, thinking he could be competitive against Democrat Kamala Harris in both states; if he wins Nevada and Arizona, especially New Mexico. That hope comes despite the fact that neither New Mexico nor Virginia has been carried to the White House by a GOP candidate since George W. Bush in 2004. (PTI)

US Election 2024 LIVE: Kamala Harris says Trump comment about women ‘offensive to everyone’

Kamala Harris said Thursday that Donald Trump’s comment that he would protect women “whether they like it or not” shows that the Republican presidential candidate does not understand women’s rights “to make decisions about their own lives, including their own bodies.”

“I think it’s offensive to everybody, by the way,” Harris said before spending the day campaigning in the Western battleground states of Arizona and Nevada.

“It does not respect women’s freedom or the intelligence of women to know what is in their best interest and to decide accordingly,” she continued at a rally in Phoenix. But we trust women.” (AP)
