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.

You can just about make out an interesting film underneath this one, rather as Jennifer Aniston's bone structure remains discernible underneath overstretched skin (nothing ages you half as much as trying too hard to look young).
The interesting film is about the very ordinary traumas of married life that Hollywood doesn't care to tackle – difficult pregnancies, not always liking your children, house prices, a long parade of boredoms and dissatisfactions that don't get played out in affairs or wild capers. But with Aniston, Owen Wilson and a fat, untrained Labrador – the Marley of the title – in front of the camera, and a bestseller about the fulfilments of dog-owning as source material, interesting gets stamped on by cute.
