LIVE – US presidential election 2024: the first polling stations have opened

– Two candidates face off for two visions of America. On one side, Vice President Kamala Harris, who in July replaced aging leader Joe Biden at short notice. At 60, on Tuesday she can become the first woman to lead the largest economic and military power on the planet. On the other, former President Donald Trump, 78, author of a spectacular political comeback after leaving the White House in 2021 in a chaotic context, having escaped two impeachment procedures and having been convicted in court.
– Interspersed with dramatic events, including two assassination attempts targeting Donald Trump, this race for the White House was also marked by all the outbidding in a fractured country. Each of the two rivals says they are confident in their victory. If we believe the polls, everything will be decided by just a few tens of thousands of votes, in seven so-called pivotal states.
– Nearly 80 million Americans, including Kamala Harris, have already voted early, out of 244 million voters. His rival is expected to vote for him in person on Tuesday near his residence in Florida. What happens next remains the great unknown. Donald Trump has never acknowledged his defeat in the 2020 presidential election, after which his supporters stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
