American voters deliver their verdict Tuesday after an extraordinarily turbulent election that will either make Kamala Harris the first woman president in US history or deliver Donald Trump a comeback that sends shockwaves around the world. As polling stations open nationwide on Election Day, Democratic vice president Harris, 60, and Republican former president Trump, 78, are dead-even in the tightest and most volatile White House race of modern times. For in-depth analysis and a deeper perspective on the most polarised political landscape in living memory, FRANCE 24's Charli James welcomes Frank A. Guridy, Professor of History and African American and African Diaspora Studies and the Executive Director of the Eric H. Holder Initiative for Civil and Political Rights at Columbia University. He is an author and award-winning historian whose recent research has focused on sport history, urban history, and the history of American social movements.
