Harris, at 60 years old, is the Democratic Party’s nominee, while Trump, 78, represents the Republicans. According to news reports, both candidates have solid backing from their party members, but independent voters could play a crucial role in determining the next President of the United States.

A candidate must obtain 270 electoral college votes to secure victory in the election. Recent polling suggests that the outcome will hinge on seven key battleground states: Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia. (Image: Shutterstock)
