Now to his critics, Donald Trump’s choices for his new Cabinet are at best inexperienced, at worst dangerously disruptive.

The 1980s was a turbulent decade in the UK. The miners’ strike, race uprisings and the politics of Thatcherism all created stories of protest and change.

Kiran Moodley reflects on his experience reporting on the lead-up to the US Election, and its perhaps inevitable outcome.

All eyes are now on Mar-a-Lago and who will be in Donald Trump’s new administration.

While the Democrats begin the soul searching about why they lost, the Trump team is busy preparing for power.

We made history, Donald Trump told his cheering supporters at his election party in West Palm Beach, Florida, last night.

At Howard University, Kamala Harris’s alma mater, the crestfallen crowd gradually melted away, the music and the mood died away and the Vice President never showed up.

Even before the voting began Donald Trump had been casting doubt on whether the election will be fair, claiming the Democrats are already cheating.

We all want to know who won the election, but getting the result could take a while – so here’s what you should be looking for in the meantime, those all-important clues that might point to a winner.

Are there people out there who don’t usually vote, young men perhaps, that the polls aren’t picking up and are swinging to Trump in large numbers? Or is there a swathe of independents, older women, traditional Republicans, turning their back on Trump and voting Democrat? 

Republicans like Liz Cheney, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Barbara Bush are vocally announcing their support for Democrat Kamala Harris against their party’s nominee, Donald Trump. But this election in Michigan, and more broadly the United States, is not just a battle of Trump vs Harris, but a final head-to-head between MAGA and the Old Republicans.

You might have thought this election couldn’t get any scarier but it’s Halloween – so cue Donald Trump dressed as a bin man, the first lady turning into a panda and the President biting a baby dressed as a chicken.

There is a growing belief that the gender divide in this election will be huge and Kamala Harris knows it.

One of those swing states is Michigan – home to some big lakes, a big car industry and a large Arab American population very upset with the Biden administration over Gaza.

Just over a week before America’s election day, the country is split down the middle… according to polls, there’s nothing to separate Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
