Rapper 50 Cent refuses to side with Mr. Trump, what is the situation of the US election?

On October 30, a representative of Donald Trump's campaign said that the former US president did not spend any money to invite the singer to sing at the campaign event over the weekend. 50 Cent's claim to be paid $3 million to sing in support of Trump is false, according to Variety.

At The Breakfast Club, 50 Cent said he turned down a $3 million offer to sing at former President Donald Trump's campaign rally at Madison Square Garden in New York.

The rapper also said he received an offer to sing in support of Trump at the Republican National Convention in July, days after the assassination of the former US president.

"I don't dare to go too far. I'm afraid to say things like that. I'm afraid of politics," the 49-year-old rapper said.

50 Cent clarified that he maintains a non-political attitude, focusing on his music career: "There are a lot of people who oppose me if I get into politics. Kanye West has paid the price."

The male rapper implied that Kanye West was banned from performing in many states in the US, after the black billionaire was accused of racism. Kanye West's big show in the US is in December 2023 at LIV Miami.

Many artists in Hollywood are divided ahead of the US presidential election on November 5. Beyoncé, Eminem, Megan Thee Stallion, Taylor Swift... voiced support for Kamala Harris, while Zachary Levi, Kid Rock, Wrestling icon Hulk Hogan announced his vote for former President Donald Trump.

Research by the Ash Center for Democratic Innovation and Governance, Harvard University, shows that celebrities create resonance, influencing the US election. Experts say the voice of the entertainment star promotes citizen participation and changes the vote figures.

"Young voters have relatively low levels of trust in many leaders and organizations, including traditional media. But celebrities are often a rare exception," Ashley Spillane, author of the study and an expert on politics and community, told ABC News.

The 2024 US presidential election is predicted to be historic, regardless of which side the final candidate wins. Previously, the campaigns of Kamala Harris and Donald Trump raised unprecedented amounts of funding.

If Democrat Kamala Harris wins, the United States will have its first female president. American women have run for their party's conventions, such as Republican Margaret Chase Smith (1964) and Shirley Chisholm (1972). No one succeeded until 2016, when Hillary Clinton won the party's nomination and ran against Donald Trump.

On the other hand, if Trump wins, different precedents will be set, given that he himself is already a controversial figure. If re-elected, he would be the first impeached president to return to the White House.

Here's an unexpected scenario that could happen in this year's vote: Electoral vote tie.

There is almost a consensus among political analysts that the winner of the 2024 US presidential election will be decided by 7 swing states (it is difficult to predict which party is in favor of), with a total of 93 electoral votes: Georgia (16 votes), North Carolina (16), Pennsylvania (19), Michigan (15), Wisconsin (10), Nevada (6) and Arizona (11).

A presidential candidate needs 270 of the 538 electoral votes to win. Therefore, if the two candidates each receive 269 votes, there will be a tie.

Is that possible? Yes, but since the 12th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution was passed in 1804, which refined the procedure for electing the president and vice president, only the 1824 election drew the Electoral College vote.

Given the state's current voting pattern, analysts say the Democratic candidate will enter the election likely to win 226 electoral votes, while the Republican candidate has 219 votes — with 93 state votes swinging to decide the winner.

If Harris wins, for example, in North Carolina, Georgia and Arizona while Trump wins in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Nevada, they will both have 269 electoral votes. Or if Harris wins in Wisconsin, Nevada, Georgia and Arizona and Trump wins in Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Michigan, they will also have 269 ties.
