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.

Back in February last year Liberal Democrat MP Chris Huhne stood down from his role as the Energy and Climate Change Secretary.

Speaking outside court at the time Huhne said that he was innocent of allegations claiming that he had perverted the course of justice and that he intended to fight them.

However, it has now emerged that Huhne has changed his plea to guilty after entering a formal not guilty plea only last week.

The MP for Eastleigh in Hampshire will also be stepping down from Parliament.
