    IT’S A tie! The US presidential election is heating up and polls show a neck-and-neck contest between Vice-President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump.

    Although Harris, the Democratic presidential candidate, is expected to win the popular vote by a narrow margin, the Electoral College race (with 538 electoral votes at stake) remains as close to 50/50 as it gets.

    Indeed, the polls suggest that neither Harris nor Republican nominee Trump commands a clear lead in the crucial seven battleground states – Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, North Carolina, Nevada, Wisconsin and Georgia – that could sway the election.
