The election between Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump is one of the closest presidential races in history.

Border policy is one of the themes Donald Trump has addressed at a rally in North Carolina. He claims Kamala Harris would "open the borders" after the election if she becomes president.

Election Day officially commenced at 6:42 a.m. on the East Coast, starting with the opening of polls in Vermont. As of November 5, Trump and Harris are engaged in a tight battle for the presidency.
