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.
May 2024 will see the release of many new titles on Netflix, chief among which will be the new season of one of its most-watched shows.

Also being released on Netflix this month includes a new Jennifer Lopez sci-fi film titled Atlas, dark comedy show Bodkin, the Benedict Cumberbatch-starring limited series Eric, which follows a puppeteer whose son goes missing, and short film Kaur that explores a Sikh girl’s decision to wear a turban for the first time.
