Who is leading the polls for President in 2024?
As of early November 2024, polls show that Kamala Harris and Donald Trump run neck-and-neck. However, the results vary depending on the state. Over the weekend, a new Iowa poll shows Kamala Harris ahead of Donald Trump.
How could the US presidential election 2024 results affect Filipino-Americans’ immigration status?
The US election results could impact immigration policies crucial for many Filipino Americans, especially those with family members still abroad. If Kamala Harris wins, her platform will include methods for citizenship and more lenient family-based immigration policies. These policies could simplify the process for family reunification and green card sponsorships, directly benefiting Filipino-American communities.
On the other hand, a Trump victory may mean stricter immigration rules and limited pathways, as his 2024 platform emphasizes tighter borders and restrictive asylum policies. Filipino Americans with relatives going through immigration could face delays and additional hurdles under these policies.
How will the US Presidential Election 2024 results impact U.S.-Philippines relations?
Harris has advocated for strengthening alliances, which could mean increased support and collaborative efforts on trade, regional security, and immigration benefits between the U.S. and the Philippines.
However, Trump’s approach has leaned toward reducing foreign commitments, potentially impacting the U.S.-Philippines partnership. By this, it might result in fewer benefits and support structures that affect Filipino Americans.
Indeed, the 2024 US Presidential Election Results will affect US citizens and have meaningful implications for our fellow ‘kababayans.’ So we encourage eligible voters to vote and choose their candidates wisely!
