The 2024 US presidential election holds critical implications for global politics and economies with countries like India closely watching the outcome. This analysis compares key policy positions of Donald Trump and Kamala Harris highlighting how each candidate’s potential leadership could shape Indian economy and bilateral relations.

Bush where each candidate gained and lost modest leads throughout the race, ultimately ending in deadlock.

Donald Trump and Republicans that emerged victorious face the daunting task of governing an increasingly divided nation.
Polls indicated a tight race, yet beneath these numbers were profound shifts in American politics, some of which spotlighted key issues in Harris’s record and underscored difficulties she would have faced if she had won the White House.
