As the US presidential election approaches, the outcome, whether Kamala Harris or Donald Trump emerges victorious will have profound implications for US-Nigeria relations. 

In the highly competitive election, tens of millions of Americans will cast their votes in a crucial showdown between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump

This election is historic not only for its fierce contest but also for the chance to elect America’s first female president, a mixed-race woman. Conversely, if Trump, representing the Republican Party, makes a comeback, he will be setting several records. 

While the Nigerian government has refrained from endorsing any US presidential candidates, the Nigerian populace is divided between support for Kamala Harris from the Democratic Party and Donald Trump from the Republican Party.

Nigerians voice their opinions on Trump and Harris 

As the election draws closer, let’s take a look at the reactions from Nigerians regarding the event below: 

“Trump is the man,” The Chosen stated. 

“The previous 4 years of Donald Trump was not a pleasant experience for the whole world; every US president has great influence on the world stage; therefore trump as a president would be disastrous. The US govt economy is a war economy; they benefit from keeping people fighting,” Iruofagha the Eternal love expressed. 

“I am for DONALD. America is not like a Sierra Leone country where a woman can rule successfully. We need to be honest with ourselves,” Tourism New Magazine added. 

“Trump all the way,” Nnaemeka stated. 

“Trump wins!!! Nov 5,” Mayowa added. 

“Everyone is reading too far into this, Kamala got ahead by blowing her way to the top, if she gets into any troubles with foreign countries she will probably just resolve it on her knees!” Z stated.  

“Elon Musk's influence has definitely played a significant role, but even with his impact, it looks like Trump is maintaining a strong position. It’s shaping up to be a fascinating race, and I’m optimistic about Trump's chances,” TheHotZone stated. 

“This time around; it’s the other way around, there are a lot of silent Harris voters,” Tomide O reacted. 

“She’s not having a tough run! Twitter is now a Republican space, that’s all. But every sensible person knows she’s leading by far,” Zandam Hussain added. 

“One thing u must not do is to project or predict US election base on ur experience with Nigerian voters.  Americans are not like our voters, that bread largely determines who they will vote for. Moreover the system is relatively free and fair. Therefore, you jus can be be sure nw,” The Scientist reacted. 

“just because Twitter might be leaning more Republican, it doesn't mean she's not crushing it. Every reasonable person can see she's way ahead. And let's be real, Elon Musk is probably just intimidated. I'm calling it now: Trump won't win this election. Mark my words!” Flexible Queen reacted. 

“Trump must win! Be rest assured,” Muhammad added.
