About this episode

Campaigning for the White House is over and Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have held their last rallies before the final vote. With polls opening across the U.S. the race is too close to call, and it may take several days or even weeks for the new president to be confirmed. Security in Washington D.C. is being stepped up ahead of the result, while voters are turning to different ways of easing their stress. Plus, we look at the state of the U.S. in 2024 and what the new president will inherit from Joe Biden.
