Donald Trump has named a Fox News anchor as his pick for Defence Secretary. And the former governor of South Dakota, known better in this country as the woman who shot her own dog, is set to be his head of Homeland Security. What do his picks tell us about the direction of travel of the incoming administration? And why has he had to appoint not one, but two heads to run the Department of Government Efficiency?

Emily, Jon and Lewis bid farewell to the United States by answering your questions on the US election.
So what next for Kamala Harris? Why didn't the celebrity endorsements work for the Democrats? And is there any way Donald Trump could stand for a third term?

The Democrats are only just beginning to digest what went wrong and what a Trump presidency might mean for America for the second time around. But in Britain and Europe alarm bells are already off the charts. What does Trump mean for Starmer, for populism and for national security? Do we have to start doing more without Americas help?

Donald Trump’s result last night was astounding. He reached corners of America few republicans had reached, both geographically and demographically. The Democrat post-mortem will begin before she’s even conceded. What went wrong? What did they misunderstand? And what happens now that Donald Trump's power is unchecked and complete?

It's still early in Washington DC but in a remarkable and unprecedented night Donald Trump is on the verge of the greatest comeback in political history. He's on course to pick up the key swing states he needs to secure a return to the White House. How has he managed it? And what does it mean for America and the world?

The stakes could hardly be higher as US voters turn out to vote for the next President. Is it the White House or the jailhouse for Donald Trump? Could America be on the cusp of its first female POTUS? The country is on a knife edge, security barricades are going up, and once again Donald Trump is slinging sexist insults. The next 24 hours could be fraught, unpredictable and historic.
And, your questions answered on the US election. The surprises to watch out for, why Americans have to queue so long to vote, and what happens if it’s a tie?

We’re high on the rooftops overlooking the White House for our last full day of this election. How has each candidate closed the campaign? What should we be looking out for on election night itself as early results come in? And what has Jon learned from the Kamala Harris campaign team about how they're planning the last 24 hours?

The News Agents are in Washington. And we’re asking one big question - will this be the election that brings women out for Kamala Harris in such numbers that she can seal the deal? That in essence is where we start the final lap of the campaign. What is the 'secret voter' really doing? And does anyone trust the shift in the polls?
Later, we’re door knocking in a ruby red county of Pennsylvania. Why do the Democrats think they stand a chance here when they know it’s a deeply religious conservative community? Is there such thing as a 'moral Republican' voter demographic?

45 million people - or 20 percent of the electorate - have already voted. What do the patterns tell us about who might have the advantage?
Later, we speak to Bob Woodward, of The Washington Post and Watergate fame, about Trump and democracy. And we ask whether Madison Square misogyny and minority group racism will put Trump voters off - or turn them on.

With less than two weeks until the Presidential election, Donald Trump has carved out precious time on the campaign trail to focus on the size of a former golfer’s manhood and stake a claim to a McDonald’s Employee of the Month award. It’s certainly not conventional campaign strategy - but could it be helping, rather than hindering, efforts to gee up Republican voters?
The polls are looking incredibly tight, so what does early voting tell us about the state of the race? And, with abortion on the ballot in many states, is a woman’s right to choose the vote-winner that Kamala Harris and the Democrats are banking on it being? Or is it more complicated than that?

The old wisdom held that Democrats could rely on the votes of those in the Black and Latino communities - often immigrant families that felt that party were on their side. But in recent elections that has started to shift. Kamala Harris is struggling to win the Black vote at the same levels Joe Biden won it in 2020, which pushed him over the line. And her latest pitch is an economic plan specifically tailored to Black men. Is this smart or reductive? And can Trump capitalise on that gap? We’re joined by Luis Sanchez, who’s on the ground in Wisconsin.
Later, what are the polls telling us now and how much should we trust them? We're with Kyle Kondik of Sabato's Crystal Ball - the electoral gurus who break down the numbers.

This week, Kamala Harris was the unlikely guest on a sex and relationships podcast aimed at Gen Z women, asking them to ‘Call Her Daddy’ - it turns out it isn’t all blowjobs, redflags and narcissists.
Meanwhile, Elon Musk was jumping around at the scene of the attempt on Donald Trump’s life in Pennsylvania, fist-pumping and talking about bloodied faces. The difference is stark. Could this be the biggest gender split in an election we’ve ever seen?
All of this plays out with the background of two major hurricanes in the south. Florida steels itself for the storm of the century, but we ask how natural disasters became so deeply politicised?

Imagine a political world where Donald Trump doesn’t exist. That’s what the VP debate sounded like on CBS last night. There was none of the crazy talk. No stage stalking. Not a whisper of a pet eating migrant...It was just two blokes talking policy rather delicately.
Tim Walz seemed nervous to a slicker more spirited JD Vance. But ultimately the Minnesota governor probably had the knock out blow when he asked his opponent “who won“ the last election. And JD Vance couldn’t say. Will this change the dial of a very tight race?

We start with the very strangest of tales - the man standing to be North Carolina's governor was found to have called himself a "black nazi" on a porn website some years ago and called for a return to slavery. The reason it's making headlines is because he was endorsed by Trump six months ago, and was called 'Martin Luther king on steroids'.
Will that endorsement hurt Trump? The former president is tied in the polls with the vice president but out polls her by 11 points when voters are asked who they trust on the economy.
We ask Megan Gorman, author of 'All the Presidents' money whether the economy will ultimately decide who wins.

How to make sense of not one but two assassination attempts in as many months on a former president? Donald Trump says it's all down to the language that Kamala Harris and the Democrats are using. JD Vance has just called her 'the most fraudulent person to run for president'.
Is it language? Guns? Or an impossible to police golf course perimeter? The first voting by post began in Pennsylvania this week. What does the attack bode for the November election and beyond?

The Presidential debate on Tuesday night was everything that team Harris were praying it would be. Trap after trap laid for Donald Trump which he appeared to walk into.
His areas of strength - the economy and immigration - didn’t really get off the ground. She baited him on his rallies and his racism. And he got very cross.
Moments after the debate ended the Democratic nominee won the support of arguably the most powerful woman alive - Taylor Swift. How will this shift the electoral race?

Trump has been having what our grandmother's mght once have called 'a funny turn'. He keeps saying things out loud he then regrets. He admitted this week he had both lost the last election and tried to interfere with the result. Then he argued against the 6 week abortion ban in Florida - saying it was TOO SHORT. And then offered America free IVF. None of which he'd agreed as policy with his VP.
If this makes you think Kamala has the election in the bag, well, pause there: she doesn't. The polls are tightening but the election is still looking neck and neck. She's managed to avoid any real accountability by doing a soft soap interview. But what's going to happen come the TV debate next week? We have finally seen they have the power to change a presidential race...

The rules of the last TV debate were set by Joe Biden. And that didn’t go so well for him...Jon has an incredible story of the hours leading up to that debate and who knew what. But right now those debate rules are being re- litigated by Kamala’s team, who now say they want the mics left live. Will it happen?
Later, why is Trump now talking about women’s reproductive rights? And what does the suspension of RFKs presidential campaign actually mean for him, for Trump, and for Harris?

Star quality doesn’t come much higher than an Obama. And last night at the DNC there were two. Michelle preceded her husband, the 44th US president, as they told the crowd to “Do Something “ to get Kamala Harris elected.
This convention, these speeches, are all about the power of women. And there’s a reason that’s playing so strongly in this particular election. What will Trumps response be to what’s happening on stage in Chicago?

Since Kamala Harris took over the 2024 Democratic race Trump has been visibly suffering. He can’t work out her name, how to attack her, or even whether she reminds him of his own wife.
Trump has barely been out on the campaign stump since his attempted assassination. Has he got PTSD or has he just lost his mojo? And what will happen to the democrats when he gets it back?
