Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, the frontrunners for the US presidency, are actively campaigning with competing rallies in critical battleground states.
What if the current US Vice President and the former Republican President were Indian politicians? Artist Shahid SK has explored this scenario through AI-generated images shared on Instagram, depicting both candidates as Indian political figures.
In a series of illustrations, Trump and Harris are portrayed engaging in typical political activities, such as participating in roadshows from an open jeep. Trump is shown alongside his supporter, billionaire Elon Musk. The images capture them holding babies, flashing victory signs, and dining in Dalit homes—all common practices for Indian politicians aiming to secure votes.
As the election approaches, Harris and Trump continue their rivalry with rallies in battleground states during the final week of campaigning for the presidency.
These battleground states, also known as swing states, exhibit strong support for both the Democratic and Republican parties, resulting in uncertain and competitive election outcomes. They do not consistently align with one party, leading to their “swinging” nature in different elections.
In their relentless push, both candidates will visit North Carolina on Saturday, just three days before the election. This marks the fourth consecutive day that Harris and Trump will be in a battleground state together.
The electoral process in the US, recognized as the world’s oldest democracy, is also facing challenges due to the influence of AI and fake videos. Recently, the US government accused Russia of disseminating a fraudulent voting video featuring a Haitian immigrant claiming to have voted multiple times. Officials noted this as part of “Moscow’s broader effort to raise unfounded questions about the integrity of the US election.” Russia has dismissed these allegations as “baseless.”
