Description
With election day just two weeks away, Americast looks at the different campaign approaches being taken by both candidates. What are Donald Trump’s and Kamala Harris’s different strategies, and whose is the most effective? As Harris campaigns with Republican Liz Cheney across three swing states, we also hear from Anthony Zurcher who spent the day travelling with the vice president on Air Force Two. We also get Justin and Sarah’s take on how much you can trust the polls, and ask the big question: who’s going to win?
