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.

As many of us spent last year renovating and decorating our homes, there was one interior trend that soared in popularity: cottagecore. Replacing the pared-back Scandi style, the new trend focuses on cosiness and giving your home a rustic reboot.
With countryside living having its moment just about everywhere on social media, if you’re an inner-city resident and unsure of how to bring the trend into your home, we’re here to help you do it (on a budget, of course).
With subtle prints and mismatched china one way to inject cottagecore into your home, make Emma Bridgewater your go-to brand.
Many of its pieces are handmade and hand-painted in the brand’s factory, and we’re not the only ones obsessed with its collections of colourful pottery.
Emma Bridgewater has a loyal fan base, with the likes of Holly Willoughby frequently posting pictures of her pretty homeware pieces, including her polka dot china. She recently shared a picture of her much-loved mug from the brand while taking a step back from This Morning this week.
The best thing of all is that Amazon has slashed the price of a number of Emma Bridgewater’s popular pieces, including the Emma Bridgewater x Russell Hobbs collection, which features Holly’s favourite polka dot print. Surely there’s no better time to tap into the cottagecore trend and take inspiration from the star’s homeware picks?
