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.

The Time: now, until 26 April
The Place: the Barbican Art gallery, London
The Essentials: Harley motorcycles and clothing
The Barbican is playing home to 30 of the world's best customised Harley- Davidson motorcycles, dating from the Forties. If you can't afford one of the dream machines favoured by the likes of Elvis Presley and James Dean, you can always opt for the ready-made variety. And like any self- respecting Harley fan you'll need all the relevant gear to go with the bike, which is why we've been out shopping.
You can pick up a Heritage Springer 95th anniversary model for pounds 14,095, from your local Harley dealer. You'll need an even bigger wallet for the Ultra Classic Electric Glide, which starts from pounds 14,995. If you fancy something a little less pricey, however, how about the Dyna Super Glide, which retails for a more modest pounds 8,995? The Fat Boy 95th anniversary model, also on exhibition at the Barbican, will set you back pounds 13,295.
Then there are the boots - pounds 106; the animal skin - pounds 116; the Harley T- shirt - pounds 33; the jeans - pounds 50; and the leather jacket - pounds 500. And don't forget a CD of Easy Rider.
Call Harley-Davidson (01280 700101) for your nearest dealer.
