On Tuesday 5 November, Americans will vote after one of the most surprising and chilling election campaigns in history. President Joe Biden dropped out of the race to be replaced by his vice-president, Kamala Harris, while the Republican candidate, Donald Trump, survived an assassination attempt and was embroiled in multiple criminal cases.
The outcome in the world’s largest economy will have far-reaching consequences – both inside the US and globally – on the climate crisis, abortion and development.
