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.

Jedward have made it through to their second Eurovision Song Contest final.

The former X Factor contestants, real names John and Edward Grimes, are representing Ireland for the second year in a row.
They are hoping to place higher than last year, when they came eighth with Lipstick.
The 20-year-old twins were dressed in silver armour-like costumes with their famous spiky hair worn flat.
Their performance ended with the energetic brothers jumping into a fountain in the middle of the stage.
They will go up against favourites the Russian Grannies - Buranovskiye Babushki - who also made it through last night.
The second semi-final will take place tomorrow night.
France, Italy, Germany, Spain, the UK and Azerbaijan have already qualified for the final.
