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.

Don't patronise the people of the bush - their civilisation is older than yours. Make a genuine effort to learn their customs.
Do wear cotton and take a woollen sweater - man-made fibres are as unhealthy as man-eating lions in the tropics.
Don't wear sweaty trainers without socks, or you can expect them to receive a sacrificial burning.
Do beware the local brews - they win on price but lose the morning after.
Do take more than enough film and spare batteries. Game reserves are well stocked with animals but not Fuji Provia and lithium CR5M6Vs.
Don't know better than your guides. If they say that log is a crocodile, believe them.
