“Harris and Trump in Fierce Battle as US Presidential Election Nears With Three Weeks to Go”
With just three weeks remaining until the US presidential election, the race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump is intensifying. Both candidates are pulling out all the stops as they battle for key swing states that will likely determine the outcome of the election. Harris, representing the Democratic Party, is focusing on policies centered around healthcare reform, economic recovery, and social justice, appealing to a wide voter base with a vision for progress and unity. Meanwhile, Trump, running on the Republican ticket, is doubling down on his populist messaging, promising economic resurgence and stronger immigration policies, while questioning his opponent’s ability to lead.
Polls show a tight race, with each candidate vying for undecided voters, particularly in battleground states like Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Arizona. Campaign rallies, media appearances, and a final debate are expected to play a critical role in swaying voters as the election day draws near. Both campaigns are leveraging social media, ads, and grassroots efforts in a last-minute push to gain momentum. With the political stakes higher than ever, Americans are preparing for a historic showdown at the polls.

Guyana Government Approves $123 Million For CARICOM Nations
In a move to strengthen regional stability and provide humanitarian support, Guyana’s National Assembly has approved $123 million (approximately $587,940 USD) for CARICOM nations, Diaspora Watch can report. This decision was made during the 89th Sitting of the National Assembly, where Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Hugh Todd, emphasized the government’s commitment to supporting its neighbors in need.
Diaspora Watch was told the funds will primarily support Haiti, which has been plagued by severe gang violence, resulting in over 2,500 people killed or wounded between January and March this year. Recall that the violence has led to a shortage of food, water, and other essential items, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis. Minister Todd highlighted Guyana’s history of providing support to its Caribbean neighbors, citing the recent example of Hurricane Beryl, which devastated several Small Islands Developing States (SIDS) in the region.
Guyana provided contributions in kind to affected OECS countries, demonstrating its commitment to regional solidarity. The approval of these funds comes on the heels of a recent meeting between Heads of Government of Caribbean nations in Guyana, where they discussed the pressing issues of crime and gang violence in the region. The meeting highlighted the need for collective action to address these challenges, which have resulted in a 154% increase in regional security budgets between 2019 and 2024. In July, Guyana provided its first shipment of relief aid to Grenada, comprising vital items such as generators, water purification tablets, and hygiene products. This donation demonstrates Guyana’s commitment to providing tangible support to its neighbors in need.
