US Election Dynamics
In the lead-up to the US elections, the fluctuating dynamics of the race are evident, particularly with the shifting perceptions of candidates like Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. Initially, there was optimism surrounding Harris's chances, where she appeared to have a strong lead, but recent data suggests a turnaround favoring Trump.
