First Votes in U.S. Election Result in Trump-Harris Tie

 

In a surprising start to the U.S. presidential election, the first votes cast in the small community of Dixville Notch, New Hampshire, have resulted in a tie between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. Each candidate received three votes, reflecting the incredibly close race that has been predicted by opinion polls.

Both campaigns are making their final pushes to mobilize voters, with key battleground states expected to play a crucial role in determining the outcome.
