Polls open for 2024 US Election Day as Kamala Harris, Donald Trump face off

This Election Day culminates a campaign season defined by historic twists, but the results may be slow in coming.
Washington, DC – Election Day is finally here.
Polls have opened for the 2024 United States election, a national vote that will decide not only the next president of the country but also the makeup of the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Tuesday caps a mad-dash stretch of campaigning that saw Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and her Republican challenger Donald Trump crisscrossing the country in hopes of shoring up voters.
For weeks, polls have shown a remarkably tight race, with no candidate having the edge going into Election Day.
Whatever the outcome of the vote, the result will define US politics and policy for the next four years. It will also be historic as voters will either elect the first female president in Harris or the first convicted felon in Trump.
