Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The Donald is winning the hearts and minds of America and the people want to do more than just hold banners and chant his name.

At the end of a keynote address to Republicans in Palm Beach County, Florida; two-time Emmy nominated musician, Beau Davidson paid tribute to Donald Trump with a cover of Ben E. King’s Stand By Me.

The lyrics were tweaked for the occasion: “So Donald, Donald, stand by us, and we'll stand by you.'

“It don't matter where we go. It don't matter what Hillary does, as long as we're with you. Stand by me.”

The frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination was joined on stage by former candidate Ben Carson and the two awkwardly bopped on stage during the performance.

It is not the first time Mr Trump has danced during his presidential campaign; last year, he parodied Drake’s Hotline Bling on Saturday Night Live.
