US Presidential Polls: The result in the US Presidential Polls 2024 brought a good news for former President and Republican candidate Donald Trump who defeated Democratic Party candidate Kamala Harris in the race to the White House. The counting of votes took place on Tuesday, November 5 (local time).

As the results began to unfold, Trump maintained a lead over his rival Harris throughout. His victory over Kamala Harris has again brought Moo Deng, a baby pygmy hippo, into the limelight who got it dead right as far as the prediction of the winner is concerned. 

The hippo from Thailand became an unlikely prophet ahead of 2024 U.S. polls. She came out with a prediction that Trump would secure victory and return to the White House. What makes the prediction different and unique is that it involves watermelons.

Mood Deng grabbed eyeballs last year on November 4 when she was presented with two watermelons. Each melon was carved with the name of one of the candidates for the top post: Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.

Moo Deng showed no hesitation and waddled right over to the watermelon marked with Donald Trump’s name and proceeded to munch on it like a true conservative icon. The hippo became a sensation on the internet for her adorable antics at the Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Chonburi, Thailand. 

As far as the US presidential poll results are concerned, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are witnessing a neck-and-neck fight with Trump having his nose ahead. Trump is leading by over 230 electoral votes, whereas Harris is leading by 216, according to the Associated Press.
