Election Day 2024 live updates: Latest Trump vs Harris news, polls, results and analysis

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner went viral a day before the election after he told those thinking about interfering in the election “F around and find out.”

On Tuesday, Krasner showed off a t-shirt printed with the acronym “FAFO.”

“Now, I found myself, to everyone’s surprise, getting a lot of attention yesterday over something I said, and I came in this morning only to find that these hard-working members of the Election Protection Task Force had gone out and printed up the T-shirt just so people will understand how serious we are, that we are not going to tolerate interference with a free, fair and final election here,” the Democrat said on Election Day morning.

A man who “smelled like fuel” has been arrested by US Capitol Police after attempting to enter the Congressional complex.

“Our officers just arrested a man who was stopped during our screening process at the Capitol Visitor Center (CVC),” the agency wrote on X on Tuesday afternoon. “The man smelled like fuel, had a torch and a flare gun. The CVC is closed for tours for the day, while we investigate. We will provide more information when we can.”

Polling guru Nate Silver has revealed his final prediction model for the 2024 presidential election – and has concluded the race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump is “literally closer than a coin flip.”

In Silver’s model, Harris won the Electoral College in 50.015 percent of the 80,000 simulations, giving her a razor-thin lead.

“The race is literally closer than a coin flip: empirically, heads wins 50.5 percent of the time, more than Harris’s 50.015 percent,” Silver wrote on his Substack page on Tuesday morning.

“When I say the odds in this year’s presidential race are about as close as you can possibly get to 50/50, I’m not exaggerating,” he said.

Well, here it is: Election Night 2024. Millions of Americans have already cast their ballots, and it might take a few days to learn who the next president will be. But tonight, the polls will close on one of the most unpredictable elections in recent history. An election that was posed to be a rematch between two elderly men who had faced off in 2020 turned into one defined by assassination attempts and a surprise change at the top of the Democratic ticket.

As always, it’s impossible to decode what precisely will happen and who will win by how much. Anyone who says otherwise is lying. But there are always indicators.

A few weeks ago, Inside Washington broke down House races to watch that might show who wins the whole thing. In the same vein, because of the electoral college, both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump need to focus on specific counties in each of the seven swing states.

Without further ado, here are the seven most important counties to watch on Election Night if you want an early sense of who’s going to win overall.

Tucker Carlson has claimed that nuclear technology was not created by humans – but by “demonic forces.”

The former Fox News host and Donald Trump ally made the bizarre claim on Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast, released on Election Day eve, where the two conservative figures got into a discussion about where nuclear technology originated.

“Nuclear weapons are demonic, there’s no upside to them at all, and anyone who claims otherwise is either ignorant or doing the bidding of the forces that created nuclear technology in the first place, which were not human forces obviously,” Carlson told Bannon.

Donald Trump Jr has peddled an unfounded conspiracy theory suggesting that Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was arrested so celebrities who were affiliated with him would endorse his father’s opponent, Kamala Harris.

Combs was arrested in September on sex trafficking and racketeering charges. Federal prosecutors allege that Combs and his associates threatened, abused and coerced women and others around him “to fulfill his sexual desires” – which allegedly included forcing victims into engaging in recorded sexual activity which he referred to as “Freak Offs.”

One lawsuit also alleges that Combs regularly hosted “sex-trafficking parties” with underage women and illegal drugs, and implies record label executives who looked the other way financially benefited from access to celebrities and dignitaries, including the British royal Prince Harry.

The US 2024 election results are in for one tiny New Hampshire town - and it’s a tie.

The six residents of Dixville Notch, near the Canadian border, waited for just 12 minutes to learn the results of their midnight vote.

Much like the rest of the country, the result was deadlocked; three votes for Donald Trump and three for Kamala Harris.

Donald Trump is hoping to expand his “America First” agenda as he makes his third run for president, this time against Democratic rival Kamala Harris.

When he was defeated in the 2020 presidential election, the US was in the midst of a deadly pandemic, and he left the White House on the heels of a violent attack on the Capitol fueled by a false narrative of his loss.

Trump has campaigned on a theme of “retribution” to return to an office he wrongly believes was “stolen” from him, and he has broadly embraced reshaping or eliminating federal regulations and agencies while opening the door to staffing the government with a politized federal workforce to do what he could not in his first administration.

The former president has distanced himself from the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 agenda for the next Republican administration, though the policies he has publicly supported largely mirror the expansive document.

Here are some of those proposals, based on his public statements and limited policy documents.

This Election Day, voters across America are going to the polls to cast their vote for the 47th president of the United States.

As election workers count the ballots and voting data is released, media outlets will begin to call states in favor of either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump this evening. While outlets will likely call the final result in the days or week(s) after November 5, their determination is only ever a projection. The election will be officially certified on January 6 by Congress.

Check back this evening for live election updates from The Independent as exit poll data is released and the final ballots are cast.
