Harris versus Trump: election of destiny in the USA
The time has come: America is voting. After months of campaigning, US citizens will finally decide on Tuesday whether they will elect a woman to the highest office in the land for the first time in the almost 250-year history of the United States - or a convicted felon. It is the day of decision in the USA. krone.at is ticking live.
Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris is taking on Republican ex-President Donald Trump, who is attempting a comeback four years after being voted out of office. Harris is backed by many celebrities from Hollywood's A-league: Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé and co. have spoken out in favor of Harris.
But the race remains unpredictable - who will become the 47th President of the USA? Will Harris make history as the first African-American and Asian-American person - and woman - to hold the office? Or will Trump, found guilty on all charges in the hush money scandal, soon be able to claim a second term in office?
