Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

This week’s panel

Maxim Jakubowski, author, and former owner of bookshop Murder One;

Peter Parker, biographer, author of ‘The Last Veteran’ (4th Estate, £14.99);

Michael Jones, head of books at Borders;

Joe Craig, author of the six books in the ‘Jimmy Coates’ series
