From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.AS BILL Bradley has done for the past 21 years, the former New Jersey senator spent the Labor Day weekend walking some of the state's beaches, talking to potential voters.
Yesterday, while Vice- President Al Gore and Mr Bradley, his main rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, marched in separate Labor Day parades, two polls showed that in one key electoral state - New Hampshire - they are almost neck and neck.
One poll gave Mr Gore 40 per cent and Mr Bradley 36 per cent. Four points is equal to the poll's margin of error and places the two in a statistical dead heat. Equivalent polls in April gave Mr Gore a lead of almost 40 points.
Mr Bradley is due formally to declare his intention to run in his home town of Crystal City in Missouri tomorrow.
