US presidential election heads to final stretch with Harris and Trump as main candidates

The U.S. presidential election is nearing its conclusion, with Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump as the main candidates. President Joe Biden, initially the Democratic nominee, has stepped aside to endorse Harris. Key events included Biden's nomination in March, Trump's acceptance of the Republican nomination in July, and a televised debate between Harris and Trump in September. Both candidates have faced significant challenges, including assassination attempts against Trump. Election Day is set for November 6, 2024. Following the election, states will begin certifying results, with the official electoral vote count scheduled for January 7, 2025, and Inauguration Day on January 21, 2025.
