increasing political differences in America; The possibility of chaos and violence after the announcement of the results

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - International service: Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed news-analytical site has stated in his report: Today (Tuesday) Americans will participate in the presidential election, which is very important and historic due to its impact on the United States and the whole world.

 

Americans and many around the world are anxiously following the 60th round of the US presidential election, in which the 47th president of the country will be elected. American citizens remember the events of the previous election and the attack by supporters of the Republican candidate Donald Trump on Congress on January 6, 2021, in order to prevent the confirmation of the victory of the current president, Joe Biden, and this is the first attack on Congress in the history of the United States. 

 

Americans are afraid that they will witness political violence this time as in the past with a worse scenario than in 2020. In 2020, Donald Trump proposed a conspiracy theory about "electoral theft", and in recent days, before the elections were held and the results were announced, the Republicans started making rumors about it.

 

Last Thursday, in his speech in the state of Arizona, Trump said that the only thing that prevents him from winning the election is "fraud" and the issue of vote fraud is actually taking place. He declined to say whether he would accept his possible defeat.

 

On the other hand, the campaign of Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris predicted that Trump would announce his "early victory" or "the occurrence of (election) fraud" before the full results were released.

 

According to IRNA, the US presidential elections will be held this year while the country is in severe internal political disputes. "Honestly, I shouldn't have left the White House because we did so well there," Trump said during a speech to supporters in Pennsylvania on Monday.

 

Referring to the results of a new poll that reported the equality of his supporters and Harris in the presidential election in the state of Iowa, the former president of the United States said: This poll was conducted by one of my enemies, and despite all this nonsense, we And fake news and polls, we will win.

 

In this speech, Trump called the Democrats the devil and said: "They are trying hard to steal the result of the 2024 presidential election because when the election is held on Tuesday, the result should be announced that night, but they say it is possible." It should take 12 days to announce the results of the election because they are deceitful and fraudulent people.

 

According to IRNA, Americans will go to the polls today, Tuesday, November 5, 2024, to elect their next president. The winner of this election will start the four-year presidential term from January 2025.

 

Polls in the United States indicate a tight competition between the two candidates of the Democratic and Republican parties, especially in swing states.

 

It should be noted that in today's elections, the American people will choose not only the future president but also most of the members of the Congress. The election race is between Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate, and Donald Trump, the former president and the Republican candidate.

 

About 244 million Americans aged 18 and over are eligible to vote. Many ex-prisoners are removed from the voter rolls in some states.

 

In this election, the president and 469 members of Congress (all 435 seats in the House of Representatives and slightly more than a third of the 100 members of the Senate) will be elected.
