During his victory speech on Wednesday, Donald Trump took a moment to thank his wife, Melania Trump, for her support as he won the presidential race. He praised her memoir, calling it the top-selling book in the country. In the book, Melania discusses her pro-choice views on abortion, their meeting at a New York City nightclub, and rumors about their son, but she refrains from sharing many personal details. The memoir has attracted considerable attention, contributing to its success. Trump’s acknowledgment of Melania reflects her prominent role in his campaign and personal life.

In his victory speech, Donald Trump praised Tesla CEO and X owner Elon Musk, calling him a "new star" of the Republican Party. Trump recounted a story where he left Musk on hold for 40 minutes while watching a SpaceX rocket launch, describing the billionaire as a "wonderful" person. Trump’s remarks reflect Musk’s increasing prominence in Republican circles. While there has been speculation about Musk’s role in a potential second Trump administration, Trump has previously stated that Musk would not be in his Cabinet but could play a role in cost-cutting efforts.

Americans have voted to choose between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump as the country’s 47th President. After a long and intense campaign, polling stations across all six U.S. time zones closed on Tuesday, and counting began immediately. Harris leads by a slim 1% in the latest polls, with strong support among women, while Trump has a lead among male voters. This election could be historic, as Harris would become the first female president, while Trump could become the first president in over a century to serve non-consecutive terms. Swing states are crucial in this close race.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, citing a “crisis of trust” over handling military operations. Foreign Minister Israel Katz will replace Gallant, while Gideon Saar takes over as Foreign Minister. Netanyahu stated that trust between him and Gallant had eroded over recent months, particularly in decisions surrounding Israel’s 13-month war in Gaza. Gallant had expressed concerns over the war’s direction, which clashed with Netanyahu's view to continue until Hamas is dismantled. Gallant, responding to his dismissal, posted that Israel’s security “will always remain the mission of my life.”

Donald Trump, voting in Florida on Tuesday for the U.S. presidential election, said he would concede defeat to Kamala Harris if the election is “fair.” Speaking to reporters, he raised concerns about electronic voting machines, arguing paper ballots are more secure and would ensure quicker results. Trump also dismissed fears of post-election violence, insisting his supporters are not “violent people.” As millions of Americans cast their ballots, the outcome could either mark a historic first for Harris as the first female president or bring Trump back to the White House. The result may take days to finalize.

On the final day of the 2024 U.S. presidential campaign, Kamala Harris focused her efforts on Pennsylvania’s Latino voters, particularly Puerto Ricans, following a controversial comment from a Trump ally. The joke, referring to Puerto Rico as a "floating island of garbage," has sparked outrage among Latino communities. Harris, backed by celebrities like Bad Bunny and Fat Joe, spent the day visiting Latino communities in Pennsylvania, a critical swing state. Trump, however, distanced himself from the remark but praised his support for Puerto Rico. Pennsylvania’s Latino vote may play a crucial role in deciding the election.

Podcaster Joe Rogan has endorsed Donald Trump for the 2024 U.S. presidential election, swayed by tech billionaire Elon Musk. Rogan's backing, influential among his predominantly young male audience, is seen as significant for Trump, who has focused on appealing to younger voters through podcasts. Trump's campaign welcomed the endorsement, calling it "great" news. Rogan, with over 18 million YouTube subscribers, shifted from previously supporting progressive candidate Bernie Sanders. Meanwhile, Democratic nominee Kamala Harris continues to garner celebrity endorsements, including from Taylor Swift and Oprah Winfrey, as both candidates vie for undecided voters in a tight race.

On the night before the U.S. Presidential Election, Kamala Harris brought out celebrities to rally support. In Pennsylvania, performers like Cedric the Entertainer, Katy Perry, and Ricky Martin joined Harris' campaign stops. However, Donald Trump criticized the star-studded lineup, particularly Beyoncé’s appearance at an earlier rally. Trump, addressing his own Pittsburgh event, said his campaign doesn’t need celebrity endorsements, focusing instead on policy. Despite his critique, Trump introduced Mike Pompeo and baseball legend Roberto Clemente's son at his rally. Harris continued her celebrity-backed efforts in other battleground states, including Las Vegas and North Carolina.

As the US presidential election unfolds on November 5, results may not be clear for hours or even days due to the close contest between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. The absence of a national election commission complicates the process, as each of the 51 states conducts its own voting and counting procedures. Swing states, particularly Pennsylvania, are crucial in determining the outcome. Although media outlets will begin projecting results soon, official certification will occur by December 11, with Congress counting electoral votes on January 6, 2025.
