There are just five days to go until the US election. Nevada is currently in the spotlight with both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris scheduled to make campaign stops in the swing state. Both campaigns have been sidetracked in recent days, after controversies sparked by a speaker at a Trump rally describing Puerto Rico as an ‘island of garbage’. For more in-depth analysis and a deeper perspective on this historic election, FRANCE 24 is joined by Dr Thomas Gift, Associate Professor of Political Science in the UCL School of Public Policy and founding Director of the UCL Centre on US Politics (CUSP).
