US voters cast ballots in tight race as turbulent campaign nears climax

The presidential contest between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris headed toward an uncertain finish on Tuesday as millions of Americans lined up at polling stations to choose between two sharply different visions for the country.
 
A race churned by unprecedented events – two assassination attempts against Trump, President Joe Biden's surprise withdrawal and Harris' rapid rise – remained neck and neck, even after billions of dollars in spending and months of frenetic campaigning.
 
Mr. Trump, who has frequently spread false claims that he won the 2020 presidential election against Biden and whose supporters attacked the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, voted near his home in Palm Beach, Florida.
 
Mr. Trump told reporters: "If I lose an election, if it's a fair election, I'm gonna be the first one to acknowledge it. He did not elaborate."
 
More than 80 million Americans had already voted earlier today, either via mail or in person, and lines at several polling stations were short and orderly.
