In this special live edition of Americano, Freddy Gray chairs a panel discussion with The Spectator’s Kate Andrews, the Telegraph’s Tim Stanley and pollster James Kanagasooriam on the upcoming US election. He’s then joined by Nigel Farage, Member of Parliament for Clacton, leader of Reform UK and friend of Donald Trump, to unpack how the presidential race is going for the Republican nominee. 

There is just over a week to go and the race to the White House is on a knife-edge. Team Harris and Team Trump both believe it is theirs to lose. But ten days is a very long time in politics and, if the rest of the year is any guide, it seems certain to bring plenty more surprises. Kamala looked to be on top after a unanimous victory in the presidential debate but her latest media blitz has backfired. Meanwhile Trump seems to have rediscovered his mojo. Will this election be a referendum on Trump?
