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.

The King and Queen are set to arrive in Australia for the start of a historic tour to the South Pacific.

The royal couple will be in Canberra and Sydney for six days in Charles’s first visit to a realm – countries where he is head of state – since assuming the throne.

They will follow in the footsteps of many past royal visitors to Australia.
