In the final sprint to the election, Kamala Harris’ campaign — at her insistence, aides and allies said — started playing Donald Trump’s most incendiary comments on the jumbotrons at her rallies, displaying in technicolor his meandering, racist and, sometimes, violent rhetoric.

Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign faced unexpected setbacks, struggling to win over voters despite initial momentum. Her alignment with President Biden’s policies and difficulty defining her own vision ultimately hindered her path to victory.

Democrat Vice President Kamala Harris has won Rhode Island on Election Day, according to a very early race call by the Associated Press. The result isn't unexpected in the solidly Democrat Ocean State, which hasn't voted for a Republican presidential candidate since Ronald Reagan won in 1984.

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump notched up early wins Tuesday as the first key polls closed in one of the tightest and most volatile elections in US history.
