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.

From Mr Peter Stewart Sir: A straw poll at my office showed a majority agreeing with the following: Someone addressing foul-mouthed abuse at a total stranger in the street should not be surprised, nor do they have any right to feel aggrieved, if they get thumped.

The same would apply at a game of football.

Yours sincerely, PETER STEWART London, E9
