Donald Trump and Kamala Harris have one final day to win over voters in a US presidential campaign that will be decided in just a handful of states. The vice president is spending all of Monday in Pennsylvania, a crucial battleground state which offers 19 electoral votes and is expected to determine the outcome. Her

There are two main differences between election coverage in the UK and the United States. Last July, at 10pm, Sky News’ exit poll graphic predicted a Labour landslide and a massive defeat for the Conservatives. Confirmation of this forecast was a long time coming since constituency results are only announced by local returning officers once

The cardinal rule surely is – say what you like about the candidate but don’t be seen to insult those who chose to vote for that candidate. Hillary Clinton learned that lesson in 2016 when she dismissed Donald Trump supporters as a “basket of deplorables”. She had sought, with remarkable clumsiness, to place Trump supporters

Donald Trump’s decision to hold a rally at Madison Square Garden, in the heart of Manhattan, nine days before US voters go to the polls has been compared to the 1939 pro-Nazi German American Bund. Is this a fair comparison? 👉 Listen to Sky News Daily on your podcast app 👈 On this episode of

An evocation of Nazism? Of course it was, and of course it wasn’t. Like everything else in this election, the narrative cuts both ways. Madison Square Garden is the iconic venue in New York City for spectacle. It’s a stage for the big event and lends cachet to a candidate closing out his campaign, no doubt.

Donald Trump’s “obvious mental decline” and “history as a convicted felon” should be enough reason for Americans not to vote for him, Michelle Obama has said. Speaking at a rally for Kamala Harris, the former first lady said she was “angry” at the “indifference” towards the Republican candidate’s behaviour. “I hope you’ll forgive me if

If there is a ground zero for US election trauma, it’s probably Georgia. It’s the state that gave us the election interference case, the Donald Trump mugshot, and his telephone call to the secretary of state asking for more votes. The Republican nominee is still among those facing prosecution – although the case has been

Donald Trump’s microphone cut out for almost 20 minutes during a campaign event in Detroit, Michigan, leaving the Republican presidential candidate visibly irritated.

There were two planned executions in the US on Thursday – one was halted over questions of the suspect’s guilt and the other went ahead after the death row inmate asked to be killed. The Texas Supreme Court stopped the scheduled execution of Robert Roberson, who was convicted of killing his two-year-old daughter in 2002.

Donald Trump has outdone himself.  His rhetoric has long been extreme but, in campaign remarks as it heads towards a close, it’s more so. Consider the direct quotes from his “enemy within” interview on Fox News on 13 October. Asked about “bureaucrats undermining you” in a second term, he replied: “We have two enemies: we
