International Desk: Voting will start in most states in the US presidential election today at 7 pm Bangladesh time. Voting will be completed in most parts by Wednesday (November 6) morning. The United States presidential election is held every four years on the day after the first Monday in November. According to that tradition, the main polling of the country's 47th presidential election will take place.

Kamala Harris or Donald Trump - who is going to be the next president of the powerful country? The citizens of the country are settling this account. More than 77 million voters have already voted in advance. The one who wins the electoral battle will make a new history. People all over the world are keeping a watchful eye on the US presidential election for natural and good reasons. Because the result of this vote will affect the world economy, war policy and immigration.

The results of booth return polls will be available gradually after the polling of all the centers is completed. But according to a New York Times report, more than seven and a half million voters have already cast their ballots this time. According to a report by The Guardian, among these voters, supporters of the ruling Democrats are more and Kamala received more early votes.

Donald Trump served as the 45th President of the United States from January 21, 2017 to January 20, 2020. The tycoon, a new name in politics, defeated former Secretary of State and former First Lady Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election on the Republican ticket. However, he lost to Biden in the 2020 election.

This time, apart from Trump and Kamala, four other candidates are contesting the election. But they have no chance of winning. Bengali is one of the four languages ​​that will be on the New York ballot besides English.

Various polls are showing a close fight between Trump and Kamala. But earlier in all the polls, Kamala was seen ahead by several points. According to a BBC report, Kamla (48%) was ahead of Trump (47%) in a joint poll by Five Thirty Eight and ABC News on Tuesday.

On the other hand, Orange (47%) trailed Trump (44%) by three points in Iowa polls conducted by Selzer. Trump, however, called these polls "false and contrived by the media". But in the seven states that are known to determine the outcome of US elections - Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin - the poll by Atlas Intel found that orange has been pushed back in all of them. Among those who participated in the survey, 52.3 percent supported Trump and 45.8 percent supported Orange.

In the 2016 election, polls showed Hillary far ahead of Trump. As a result of the vote, it can be seen that Hillary got more than 3 million votes in the popular vote, but Trump won the Electoral College vote. Total Electoral Votes (meaning those who can elect the President) are 538. 270 electoral votes are required to be elected president.

Trump and his supporters have questioned the reliability of the polls. Except Fox News or a few such Trump-related media outlets, American and British media outlets have promoted orange positively. The editorial board of the New York Times made it clear in an article on Sunday that Trump is unfit to be president. However, Trump's campaign has been saying since the beginning that the ruling party is spreading false information in various ways. Trump himself has said that if the Democrats do not cheat, he will win this election again.

In this election campaign, Trump and Kamala have blamed each other and made many personal attacks. Political analysts fear violence if Trump does not win.

It can be assumed that the impact of the results of this election will fall on the whole world including Bangladesh. Trump said he would end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours if he won the election. He also indicated the end of the Gaza war. At the very end, a day ago, Kamala also changed his tune and said that if he wins, he will stop the war in Gaza. After the corona virus pandemic, especially due to the war in Ukraine, the world economy is in turmoil. As a result, the world is watching whether Trump or Kamala gets the keys to the White House.
