On November 5th, the United States will elect its 47th president: after Joe Biden's withdrawal, Kamala Harris will represent the Democratic Party and take on Donald Trump, the Republican Party's presidential candidate vying for a return to the Oval office, in an election marked by a turbulent campaign filled with polarizing rhetoric, failed assassination attempts, and the unprecedent switching out of presidential candidates only months before the election.
