Less than a week remains until the elections in the United States, expected to be among the largest in the country's history, pitting former President Donald Trump against current Vice President Kamala Harris. In addition to the presidential election, the United States will determine the seats in the Senate and the House of Representatives. You will find real-time information and updates according to the vote count that will define the presidency between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. The page will be updated as more results from each entity come in.
Furthermore, it is expected that throughout the day, the most important television channels in the United States will provide real-time information. At El Financiero Bloomberg, we invite you to follow the results of the presidential elections in the United States this Tuesday, November 5. It is worth noting that it is common for the party that wins the presidency to carry majorities in both instances; however, due to the close nature of the polls, it is possible that the majority will be minimal, which would affect the development of reforms for either of the winning parties.
Donald Trump has said that his victory will be decisive or otherwise it will be 'fraud'; however, most credible polls give either a tie or a few points difference in favor of the former president or Harris, who has maintained a more subdued discourse regarding the election results. For investors and companies worldwide, the election day in the United States could define the future of the economy, as well as ongoing armed conflicts globally.
Donald Trump stated that tariffs will return to countries like China, which will move markets and currencies like the Mexican peso. Additionally, he assured that he will close the border with Mexico and that he will proceed to end the wars in the Middle East and between Russia and Ukraine differently than the Biden administration. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris claims that she will continue the Biden administration's policies, meaning that the border will remain open, and it is likely that economic support for Ukraine and Israel will continue. Either outcome will impact Mexico, as negotiations for the Mexico-United States-Canada trade agreement (T-MEC) will begin in 2026, where the demands on the country may change depending on who governs the United States.
Now, here is what you need to know about the elections in the United States: The presidential elections, as well as those for Senate representatives and the House of Representatives, will take place next Tuesday, November 5. While some states already offer early voting to certain citizens, the general vote will be on Tuesday. It is important to highlight that throughout the day, results of the elections in the United States will be reported, measured through electoral colleges, where each state represents a certain number of 'points'. The counting might extend into the early hours of Wednesday, November 6, or even later. Preliminary results will be provided through quick counts; however, it will not be until December that the election result is made official, with the victory of any of the winners confirmed in January.
