He voted at the Mandel Recreation Center in Palm Beach, Florida, on Tuesday. Former US First Lady Melania Trump was with him at that time. BBC news.

Speaking to reporters, Trump said, "I am very confident about winning the election." His claim, no one will get even close to his votes.

"I feel very confident," Trump said. I hear we are doing very well everywhere.

He said it was the best of the three campaigns.

Voting has started from Tuesday morning local time. More than 24 million people are voting in this presidential election. The 47th presidential election of the United States is going to be a fierce competition between Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris.

Meanwhile, polling stations in eight states, including Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, New Hampshire and Virginia, opened at 6 a.m. local time in the United States presidential election. In addition, polling stations have opened at 6 am in the states of Indiana and Kentucky. Polling is scheduled to begin at 7 am in some central states of the country.

Earlier, voting was completed at midnight at a polling station in Dixville Notch, a small town in the northeastern US state of New Hampshire. Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump got the same number of votes.




Trump got 162 and Kamala got 62 Electoral College votes

The results of the US presidential election are slowly coming in after the polls. US media is announcing state-wise results. According to the latest update of the results, Republican candidate Donald Trump won in Florida and Democrat candidate Kamala Harris won in Massachusetts.

BBC and Voice of America reported this information on Wednesday. As a result, Trump is leading by getting 162 Electoral College votes. And Kamala Harris got 62 Electoral College votes.

Basically the results have been uneventful so far. The results seen in the states of the country were expected to be similar.

There are a total of 538 Electoral College votes in the 50 states and the District of Columbia, and the candidate who receives 270 Electoral College votes will be elected. However, in the light of last year's public opinion polls and past elections, the results of 43 states are fairly certain.

And seven states—Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada and North Carolina—were undecided. These states are called 'swing states' and have a total of 93 electoral votes.

That is, a candidate must win at least four of these seven swing states to win the election.




New Zealand: Must be kept in mind

New Zealand are no strangers to being the 'dark horse' in the World Cup. But at the end of the day, they are among the few teams that have been consistent. The T20 World Cup is no exception. They have only failed to touch the trophy. New Zealand are the only team to have reached the semi-finals of the last three T20 World Cups. Of those, they had to come back as runners-up in 2021. That is the team's best achievement so far.

This time too, the favourites may not be the same, but no one would want to rule out a balanced team. Williamson is going to be the first New Zealand player to lead the team in four T20 World Cups. However, he was away from international T20s for a long time due to injuries, rest and paternity leave. Williamson played in only two of New Zealand's first 35 T20s after the 2022 T20 World Cup.

The Kiwi selectors have prioritized experience in selecting the team, which can be understood by comparing this year's team with the last T20 World Cup. Only two players have been left out of the last edition's team - Martin Guptill and Adam Mee. Rachin Ravindra and Matt Henry, who have been given a chance to replace them, will be playing their first T20 World Cup.

Tim Southee is the most experienced member of the 15-member team. Southee, the highest wicket-taker in international T20s, will be playing his seventh T20 World Cup. On the other hand, this will be the fifth T20 World Cup for Southee's long-time bowling partner Trent Boult. The pace attack formed by the Southee-Boult pair of Lockie Ferguson and Matt Henry can trouble any team. Two pace bowling all-rounders Jimmy Neesham and Daryl Mitchell can also be effective in Caribbean conditions.

Spin bowling all-rounders Mitchell Santner and Glenn Phillips have also been quite consistent. Leg-spinner Ish Sodhi is also in rhythm. Another spin all-rounder, Michael Bracewell, who missed the 2023 ODI World Cup due to injury, has also returned to the team. With the top-order cricketers busy with the IPL, the second-tier team toured Pakistan in April, led by Bracewell. New Zealand drew the series against a full-strength Pakistan.

The batting lineup is also quite strong. Finn Allen can give a flying start with devastating batting. Ravindra can also score quick runs by taking advantage of the powerplay. Devon Conway, who missed the IPL due to injury, will return with the World Cup. Conway is also the team's first-choice wicketkeeper. Williamson and Mitchell are in the middle order to take care of the team if the top order fails. Mark Chapman, Phillips, and Neesham can change the course of the match towards the end. Chapman has been doing great in the role of finisher in recent times, which is an extra credit for New Zealand.
