American Presidential Election 2024: Presidential elections are going to be held in America today. The whole world is keeping its eyes fixed on this very special day of America. After some time, it will be decided in whose hands the command of the world’s largest democratic country will be handed over. There is a strong competition between the candidates of both the parties in this election.

Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris are attacking each other on various issues, but among the rest of the equations, the market of discussions is also hot in America about whom the American citizens of Indian origin will vote for.

The population of Indian American citizens is less than 2 percent.

The population of citizens of Indian origin in America is less than 2 percent of the total population of America. However, their average annual household income is about $153,000 (about Rs 1.3 crore), which is more than double the average annual income of the entire country.

The total number of people of the Indian community living in America is 52 lakh and it is the second largest immigrant community in America. According to the Indian American Attitude Survey (IAAS) 2024 published by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, about 26 lakh Indian Americans are likely to vote in the US elections. At the same time, a survey by the same organization revealed that Democratic candidate Kamala Harris may get less votes from the Indian people than the current President Joe Biden.

The role of these seven states is important in the American elections

The role of these seven states is very important in the US presidential elections. Which includes Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The population of Indian Americans in all these states is quite good and Indian Americans living in these areas have the ability to influence the elections.

Who will support Indian Americans in the elections?

In response to the questions asked by IAAS 2024, about 47 percent people described themselves as Democrats. Whereas in 2020 this number was 56 percent. At the same time, the number of Republican voters has increased from 15 to 21 percent.
