Donald Trump has called the support he built a ‘realignment’, going beyond his base into territory previously deemed out of bounds for a Republican candidate.

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

After the 2016 election Donald Trump was seen in Washington DC as an aberration. After January 6th 2021, his opponents imagined him in a cell, not the oval office. Now the voters of this nation have given Trump another chance.

America had been prepared for a long and messy count, and possibly a disputed result, but the maths quickly became clear.

Our teams on the campaign trail reflect on what they’ve heard on the streets of America from voters, in the lead-up to the vote.

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are out trying to salvage their US election campaigns after a series of gaffes started by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe calling Puerto Rico an ‘island of garbage’, followed by President Joe Biden appearing to say Trump’s supporters are garbage.

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.

Then we went to Philadelphia. There was no red carpet for the stars descending here: Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kerry Washington, Tessa Thompson and the mayor of Philadelphia, Cherelle Parker.

It’s the legendary venue he’s always wanted to play: Donald Trump’s first night at Madison Square Garden was meant to be his last big pitch to undecided voters. But much of the focus since has been on the support acts: speakers who told racist jokes about Latino and Black voters and now risk alienating the very voters he needs to win over.

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.
