In contrast, Asian markets climbed, following a positive lead from Wall Street before the weekend, while European and US markets generally traded lower.

The supporters endorsed Trump on several issues including national security, immigration, and economic stability.

US Elections 2024 Live: 'I will end inflation, stop invasion of criminals, bring back American dream,' says Trump ahead of US Elections

Former US President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said that he will bring back the "American Dream" while taking a jibe at his Democratic rival and US Vice President Kamala Harris, stating that she had broken that dream and that he would fix it and vowed to "fix it fast."

While campaigning in Lititz, Pennsylvania, just ahead of the US Presidential Elections, Trump resonated with many Americans with the current inflation situation in the country as well as expressed his concerns over the immigration situation, stating that he will end both of them.

"I have come today with a message of hope for all Americans; with your vote on Tuesday, I will end inflation. I will stop the invasion of massive numbers of criminals coming into our country. Thank you very much, Kamala and Joe. I will bring back the American dream, and we'll bring it back stronger than ever before. Kamala broke it, and we will fix it and we're going to fix it fast," Trump said.

US Elections 2024 Live: Donald Trump calls for mandatory voter ID

Republican presidential candidate and former president Donald Trump on Sunday expressed frustration over the current voting pattern as he urged his fellow countrymen to vote for him in this final battle and called for a mandatory voter ID. The Democrats are opposing voter ID so that they can cheat, he alleged.

"I don't know why the hell we can't have a voter ID. The real Democrats want to have things like voter ID. They know it's crooked. There's only one reason you don't want a voter ID. There's only one reason, and that's to cheat. There is no other reason. There's no other reason. And they do cheat," Trump told his supporters at a rally in Pennsylvania, a battle ground state.

He said it's "damn shame" that nobody seems to talk about it. "I'm the only one that talks about it because everyone's afraid to damn talk about it. Then they accuse you of being a conspiracy-theorist... and they want to lock you up".

US Elections 2024 Live: New Iowa poll shows Kamala Harris leading in presidential race

Vice President Kamala Harris is leading 47 percent to 44 percent over former President Donald Trump among likely voters in Iowa, a new poll showed two days ahead of the high-stakes election for the White House. Trump was quick to reject the poll as "fake" and "skewed". He said it was carried to favour his Democratic rival.

"One of my enemies just puts out a poll -- I am 3 down. (Iowa Senator) Joni Ernst called me, everyone's called me, they said you are killing in Iowa. The farmers love me and I love them," he said at a rally in key battleground state of Pennsylvania.

Trump said the poll released on Saturday was "fake". "I am not down in Iowa."

US Elections 2024 Live: Germany's top diplomat in Kyiv as Ukraine girds for impact of US election on war

Germany's top diplomat arrived Monday in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv on an unannounced visit, in what appeared to be a show of European support for Ukraine on the eve of a US presidential election that could bring far-reaching changes in Washington's policy toward Russia's all-out invasion of its neighbor. Germany is Ukraine's second biggest weapons supplier after the US, and Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock vowed that Berlin's backing would remain steadfast.

"Together with many partners around the world, Germany stands firmly by Ukraine's side," she said, German news agency dpa reported. "We will support the Ukrainians for as long as they need us so that they can continue on their path to a just peace."

US Elections 2024 Live: China to hash out stimulus plan with US elections in its sights

China's top lawmakers gathered Monday to hash out a major stimulus package that analysts say could grow even bigger if former US president Donald Trump wins the White House this week.

Beijing has in recent months heeded calls to step up support for the economy after years of inaction, announcing a raft of measures including rate cuts and the easing of some home buying restrictions.

But they have refrained from unveiling a figure for the long-awaited stimulus, disappointing investors after a market rally fizzled when officials repeatedly failed to commit to a top line.

Analysts now hope this number could emerge from this week's meeting of the Standing Committee of National People's Congress, the top body of China's rubber stamp parliament headed by number three official Zhao Leji.

US Elections 2024 Live: Trump and Harris campaigns race to get the vote out on eve of US election

A presidential election unlike any other in US history enters its last full day on Monday with Donald Trump, Kamala Harris and their campaigns scrambling to get supporters to the polls in a contest each portrays as an existential moment for America.

Even after the astonishing blur of events the last few months, the electorate is divided down the middle, both nationally and in the seven battleground states expected to decide the winner on Tuesday, although the closeness of the contest means it could take days for a winner to emerge.

Trump, a 78-year-old Republican, survived two assassination attempts, one by millimeters, just weeks after a jury in New York - the city whose tabloids first elevated him to national fame and notoriety - made him the first former US president to be convicted of a felony. Harris, 60, was catapulted to the top of the Democratic ticket in July - giving her a chance to become the first woman to hold the world's most powerful job – after President Joe Biden, 81, had a disastrous debate performance and three weeks later dropped his reelection bid under pressure from his party.

US Elections 2024 Live: Final US campaign blitz for Harris and Trump

Bitter rivals Kamala Harris and Donald Trump embark on a final frenzied campaign blitz Monday with both hitting must-win Pennsylvania on the last day of the tightest and most volatile US presidential election in memory.

Republican Trump has promised a "landslide" as he seeks a sensational return to the White House, while Democrat Harris said the "momentum" was on the side of her bid to be America's first woman president.

But the polls suggest a different story on the eve of Election Day -- total deadlock in surveys nationally and in the seven swing states where the result is expected to be decided.

Now a race of dramatic twists, including two bids to kill Trump and Harris's shock late entrance, is coming down to the most viciously fought-over battleground.

Early voting figures indicated that supporters from the central part of the state could play a crucial role in the upcoming election, Trump arrived an hour and a half late, sporting a black-and-gold “Make America Great Again” cap.

Sticking to familiar themes, Trump declared his intention to invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1790, a law historically used to intern Japanese, Italian, and German Americans during World War II, and vowed to pursue the death penalty for undocumented immigrants who kill Americans.

“The United States is now an occupied country,” he said, claiming, “There are thousands of people all over our towns and cities.”

Speaking to ANI, Shri Thanedar said, "Trump has won Michigan in 2016 so it is very close but we are starting to see some momentum, especially women, young people, people of colour, African Americans...have started moving towards Kamala Harris...Trump has insulted many of these groups, all of which are causing some migration."

Speaking on the voting pattern of the Indo-American community, the US Congressman said that though the community tends to lean Democrat, they represent a diverse community with varied perspectives on social, economic, and immigration issues.

US elections 2024: Harris refuses to say how she voted on California measure that would reverse criminal justice reforms

Vice President Kamala Harris refrained from disclosing her stance on a significant California ballot measure aimed at reversing recent criminal justice reforms whilst campaigning in Michigan. She confirmed that her mail-in ballot was en route to California, two days before Election Day.

"I am not going to talk about the vote on that. Because honestly it's the Sunday before the election and I don't intend to create an endorsement one way or another around it," said Harris, who previously served as San Francisco district attorney, California attorney general and US senator prior to her 2020 vice presidential election.

US elections 2024: Trump slams Harris, calls Democratic party a 'corrupt machine' in fiery Pennsylvania speech

Former US President Donald Trump, in his recent speech at a Pennsylvania rally this morning, criticised the electoral process and advocated for single-day voting whilst denouncing Vice President Harris and the Democratic Party.

"It's all corrupt. She's corrupt. She's a corrupt person. I'm running against a totally corrupt person," he declared to the crowd.

"And I'm really not running against her. I'm running against a corrupt machine called the Democrat Party." Trump expressed disapproval regarding Harris's nomination as the Democratic Party's presidential candidate, suggesting it was unfairly taken from President Joe Biden, whom he referred to as a "poor, stupid guy."

Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump are tied in a close battle across seven crucial battleground states, just two days ahead of the US presidential election, the final New York Times/Siena College poll indicated.

According to the survey conducted between October 24 and November 2, involving 7,879 likely voters, Harris maintains slight advantages in Nevada, North Carolina and Wisconsin, whilst Trump holds a narrow lead in Arizona. The candidates are virtually neck-and-neck in Michigan, Georgia and Pennsylvania.

The results across all seven states fall within the poll's 3.5 per cent margin of error.

Donald Trump delivered a profane and conspiracy-laden speech two days before Tuesday's presidential election, talking about reporters being shot and suggesting he “shouldn't have left” the White House after his 2020 loss to Democrat Joe Biden.

In remarks Sunday that bore little resemblance to the speech he's been delivering at his recent rallies, the former president repeatedly cast doubt on the integrity of the vote and resurrected old grievances after trying to overturn his 2020 election defeat. Trump intensified his verbal attacks on what he cast as a “demonic” Democratic Party and the American media, steering his rally in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, at one point to the topic of violence against members of the press.

He noted the ballistic glass that is used to protect him at outdoor events after a gunman's assassination attempt in July and pointed to openings between the panels.

“I have this piece of glass here,” he said. “But all we have really over here is the fake news. And to get me, somebody would have to shoot through the fake news. And I don’t mind that so much.”

Trump, who held a rally in Pennsylvania earlier in the day, appeared to catch himself and said, “You know, we just left him, he’s great guy.”
