Trump-Harris, America chooses. New York amidst queues at the polls and strikes. The reportage

New York, November 5, 2024 – Him, distinguished air, blue jacket and jeans. She with a light Burberry. We are in line with them at seat of the Design school on 56th Street on the East Side of New Yorka few meters from the Trump Tower. Their first thought is to take off the red cap of the Maga, the Trumpian people. As soon as they enter they smile, as if to send a signal of honest transparency and education. In the polling stations of the Big Apple it is forbidden to introduce electoral advertising, even if their vote seems quite obvious. Even in Manhattan, bro Times Square and the editorial team of New York Timeswhere the graphic staff goes on strike in front of the newspaper’s windows to boycott the ownership of the newspaper which has not wanted to renew their employment contract for two years, there is a strange atmosphere.

The large illuminated billboards today will also transmit data without interruption on local elections. In New York, in fact, if the Democrats took back the seats in the House lost in 2020 and 2022, they could overturn the majority in Washington. The balance in the state is not in question, but only the percentages of the two parties in growth or decline.

The polarization of United Statesin these hours of election eve, does not help the comparison of ideas even within the family. But when there is a clear indication of the winner, whoever loses is bound to come to terms with it. It would be shameful – it is widely believed – if by resuming the same model of 2020 we unjustifiably shouted at the fraud non-existent. Trump, in his latest rallies, has already launched his first attacks in a county in the Pennsylvaniawhere he claimed claims for 2,600 ballots were fraudulent. The Secretary of State, however, assured that this is false news and that everyone can show up at their polling station with a valid document and vote in person today.

A few days ago, Trump claimed to be ahead in all seven swing states and seemed comforted by the strong presence of Republicans in the early vote which has already received the decision of over 77 million people. Yesterday the former president added “I’m ahead by 10 points, all of them polls are rigged and false to let Harris win but we will be vigilant.” In several states there is alarm over the mobilization of the Proud Boysthe far-right group that participated in the assault on the congress in 2020 and which, with the surviving militants at large, would be ready for a new muscular if not armed confrontation, in the event that Trump is defeated.

The alert is maximumwith new tall metal fences and barricades around the White House, a Capitol Hill and to the residence of the vice president and presidential candidate. While the national guard has already been mobilized as a precaution in some states, including Washington and Oregon – where dozens of ballot boxes were set on fire in recent days – but also in the precarious state of Nevada. Harris’ Democrats have only alerted lawyers ready to file appeals if irregularities or violence are found at the polls. To dominate the analyzes of these hours while Love Donald they still seem tied at the national level with 49%, there are the key states. In short, who will determine the victory will be the turnout today, with others in the rain and affected by extreme heat.

Surprisingly, a very rigorous Iowa poll gave Harris a 3-point lead over Trump and this could become a fatal indicator. Pennsylvania, however, with its people 19 electoral votesis still considered the ground for the last battle. The last tile for Trump instead comes from a podcast. “The only thing I really like to do is s…king my best friends’ wives. It’s just the coolest thing.” Trump himself confessed this to Jeffrey Epstein according to the recordings of an interview given in 2017 by the financier who died in prison in 2019. The audio was published as part of the ‘Fire and Fury’ podcast series by Michael Wolff.
