Description

After months of build-up, we’re days away from the 5th of November when Americans will head to the polls to vote for their next President. This week we’re looking at the people and issues to keep an eye on in these final days of campaigning and what experts are saying about the predicted outcome… Squiz Recommends: Reading: These 2 articles about Harris and Trump’s campaign directors who are both women. The first is a Politico piece about Trump’s campaign director, titled How Susie Wiles became the most feared and least known political operative in America… And the second is from the Los Angeles Times about the Democrats’ Julie Chavez Rodriguez. Reading: Katty Kay is a special correspondent from the BBC (with a great name) who’s also the co-host of The Rest is Politics US podcast, and she’s penned this piece about the gender divide in this election. Men overwhelmingly support Trump, and women overwhelmingly support Harris - so it’s a look at how that might affect the result. Tracking: And here’s that candidate tracker we spoke about To go back and listen to Parts 1-3 of our US election series, here are the links to do that: Part 1: How US elections work Part 2: The big domestic issues Part 3: The international issues Want the email version?
