Harris or Trump? It’s time for America to decide

It’s US election day and in the next few hours, America will wake up to choose its next president.

More than 82 million people have already cast their ballots, but there’s still a huge number to go – in 2022, there were around 161 million people registered to vote in the US.

In her final pitch to voters, Democratic candidate Kamala Harris told a rally in swing state Pennsylvania that she wanted to end her campaign “with energy, optimism, joy”.

Republican Donald Trump ended his campaign in Michigan – another swing state – where he accused his opponent of being a “radical left lunatic”, before welcoming his children to join him on stage. His speech was a delayed and has just finished.

What happens now? Well, the majority of the US’s East Coast is asleep – the local time there is 02:10 – meaning it’ll be fairly quiet there for the next few hours.

But we in London will bring you all the latest, including campaign reflections and a look at what you can expect today. There’s plenty to get through, so let’s get going.
