With the US elections just weeks away, Republican nominee Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris are actively campaigning to win over as many voters as possible in their bid for the presidency. Both candidates are conducting rallies and urging citizens to register and request their ballots. In an interesting twist, Donald Trump recently made a social media post, mistakenly tagging an Indian account while encouraging North Carolina residents to register to vote.
Tagging an Indian user with the handle '@trendulkar', Trump wrote, “If you plan to vote ABSENTEE IN NORTH CAROLINA, you need to request your ballot TODAY.”

Soon after, the Indian user replied to Trump, saying, 'Bhai, main Goregaon mein rehta hoon' (Brother, I live in Goregaon).

This interaction sparked a wave of amusing comments on Trump’s tweet, and soon, Indians flooded the thread with hilarious replies.
An Indian X user replied to Trump, asking, 'Bhai, kya phook ke tag kiya hai?' (Brother, what were you smoking when you tagged?).
Bhai kya fuk ke tag kiya hai?

Another X user joked, 'What the heck, he thought it was @sachin_rt but tagged some random person. Can’t stop laughing—this is hilarious!' They also compared Trump to an 'American version of Rahul Gandhi.'

However, Trump did not provide any clarification on whom he intended to tag or whether it was a mistake or intentional.
Early voting, also known as advance or pre-poll voting, allows voters to cast ballots before election day, either by mail or in person at designated locations. Availability and timing differ by region and election type. Early voting aims to boost turnout, reduce election day congestion, and accommodate people with scheduling conflicts.
