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.

Watch as Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley attends a GOP event in Washington DC on Friday 1 March.

The former governor of South Carolina has been travelling the country in recent weeks, in hopes of inspiring more people to cast their ballots for her.

Ms Haley suffered a defeat to Donald Trump in the Republican primary in her home state last weekend.

The former president won by a 20-point margin, his fourth consecutive victory.

Despite the defeat, Ms Haley promised not to quit, saying the roughly 40 per cent of the vote she received was “not some tiny group”.

“There are huge numbers of voters in our Republican primaries who are saying they want an alternative,” she said, emphasising that her continued campaign was not about her own political ambitions.

“I’m not giving up this fight when a majority of Americans disapprove of both Donald Trump and Joe Biden.”
