Doha: Preliminary results in the US presidential election indicate that Republican candidate Donald Trump has won the states of Indiana and Kentucky, securing 19 electoral votes, while Democratic candidate Kamala Harris has won Vermont, gaining 3 electoral votes. This announcement came shortly after polling stations closed in several eastern states. Within less than half an hour of poll closures, the results from the initial counting of approximately 190,000 votes in Indiana and Kentucky were released, showing Trump with around 62% of those votes compared to Harris's 36%. According to Qatar News Agency, on Tuesday, American voters went to the polls to elect their 47th president, choosing between Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and Republican candidate Donald Trump. Of the 230 million eligible voters, only about 160 million are registered. However, nearly half of the 50 states allow for same-day voter registration, while citizens in North Dakota can vote without prior registration.
