In an all-too-familiar echo of 2020, Kamala Harris is sounding the alarm bells about the upcoming election, suggesting that Americans might once again be left hanging without a definitive result come Tuesday night. Incredibly, in a post on X, she confidently announced that while she anticipates victory, the counting of votes will take its sweet time—because nothing says democracy quite like a slow-motion ballot crunch.
The Vice President’s claim is steeped in optimism, insisting her campaign is gearing up for a win, but she warns voters not to hold their breath. With the voting margins expected to be tighter than a pair of skinny jeans after Thanksgiving dinner, it seems that Americans may find themselves in a waiting game reminiscent of the nail-biting days of yore. An election week, anyone? Get ready to binge-watch the results roll in like it’s an overstretched season finale.
In a post on X, Kamala Harris said that while she expects to win on Tuesday, she warned that it “will take time to count every vote.”

The potential for a drawn-out election night has both excitement and dread swirling in the air. Experts on CNN (because they’re the ultimate arbiters of truth, right?) speculate that unless one candidate scores a knock-out victory, another marathon of counting, recounting, and potential courtroom dramas could ensue. Cue the popcorn; it appears that staying up late might just become a national pastime. The idea of voters going to bed without a clear answer on who their next president is, once again, dances tantalizingly on the edge of possibility.
In response to both campaigns calling on supporters to make their voices heard, it’s refreshing to see a glimmer of agreement in a politically polarized world. Both Trump and Harris backers are encouraged to cast their ballots and remain patient—because nothing says “freedom” like standing in line at a polling station while discussion flares about whether ballots mailed days after the election should even count. A pleasant reminder: if you’re in line when the polls close, you still have a legal right to cast your vote. Apparently, waiting patiently isn’t just for the DMV.
The interesting twist in this electoral saga is the continuous dance of who will emerge victorious. With the polls indicating a dead heat between the former president and the current vice president, the real mystery may not lie in the outcome, but rather how much drama and uncertainty will unfold in the days after ballots close. Buckle up, America; this rollercoaster is just getting started.
