Kamala, Trump tied as voting under way
Polls are now open nationwide as Americans vote for either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump in a race that has been widely billed as a dead heat.
Ahead of election day, over 80 million Americans had already cast their votes, with nearly 5 million voting early in person and around 38 million submitting their ballots by mail.
In Dixville Notch, New Hampshire -- a town known for traditionally kicking off election day -- both Trump and Harris received three votes each.
Trump and his wife, Melania, voted in Florida, where he expressed confidence about winning the vote. When asked to address potential violence among his supporters, Trump responded, “I do not have to tell them that there will be no violence,” adding that his supporters “are not violent people”.
Trump running mate, JD Vance, cast his ballot in Cincinnati, Ohio, telling reporters that the the best way to "heal the rift in the country is to try to govern as well as we can”.
Harris, who voted by mail ahead of election day, said that her top priority if elected would be “bringing down the cost of living for folks”.
