It’s decision day in America’s battle for the White House and control of Congress

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are battling over seven swing states — Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, the three Great Lakes states that make up the “blue wall” that Trump cracked in 2016 but President Joe Biden carried in 2020 and Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and North Carolina, the four Sun Belt battlegrounds, CNN reports.

If Harris wins, she would make history, becoming the first woman, first Asian American and first Black woman to win the presidency.

A Trump victory would also be historic. He would join Grover Cleveland as the only presidents to serve non-consecutive terms. He would do so after becoming the only president ever impeached twice, and the only former president ever convicted of felony crimes.
