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.

Todd Snider has the kind of audience rapport that comes only through years of one-night stands and the confidence that builds in one's character – even if that character is of an inveterate ne'er-do-well peacenik, wryly proud of his inability to grow old gracefully. It also helps that he's a great polemical songwriter blessed with the gift of making issues entertaining, whether it's the wage-slave blues of "Stuck On The Corner", the establishment's penchant for folk-devil dis-tractions, roundly skewered in "Tension" and "Ballad of the Kingsmen", or the midlife crises of "Rose City" and "Greencastle Blues", which find him asking: "How do you know when it's too late to learn?".
