New Delhi: The US presidential election is scheduled to begin on November 5, the official voting day. Although early elections have already begun. But the winner of the extremely thin race between Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump may not be known until days after the polls close. When ballots are counted, one candidate may appear to be in the lead based on early results, but the challenger closes the gap as more votes are counted. In 2020, some states experienced a “red mirage” in which Trump led on election night before a “blue shift” saw him overtaken by Democrat Joe Biden, a phenomenon Trump used to bolster his false claims that the election was stolen.
