Two candidates are competing 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, she could become the first woman to lead the world's greatest economic and military power on Tuesday. On the other, former President Donald Trump, 78, who has made a spectacular political comeback after leaving the White House in 2021 in a chaotic context, having survived two impeachment proceedings and having been convicted in court. Peppered with dramatic twists and turns, including two assassination attempts targeting Donald Trump, this race for the White House has also been marked by all the bidding wars in a fractured country. Each of the two rivals says they are confident of victory. If the polls are to be believed, everything will be decided by just a few tens of thousands of votes, in seven so-called pivotal states.
