Americans will choose either Donald Trump or Kamala Harris to serve as the next president.

It’s the final chapter in one of the most bewildering, unpredictable and consequential sagas in political history.

The United States has never elected a president who has been convicted of a crime.

Kamala Harris had flamed out when running for president four years ago , dropping out before the first Democratic primary contest.

She became the first woman, Black person and person of South Asian descent to serve as vice president.

When Biden dropped out, she was better positioned than many realized to seize the moment.

The two candidates have almost nothing in common.
