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.

Vice President Kamala Harris and Former President Donald Trump are making their final pitches to voters on Monday, the last full day of campaigning before Election Day.

The vice president was joined by celebrities Lady Gaga, Oprah Winfrey, Ricky Martin, and The Roots in Philadelphia this evening as Katy Perry and Christina Aguilera supported her in Pittsburgh and Las Vegas.

Trump also concentrated on the Keystone State, delivering his “closing message” at a rally in Pittsburgh before one final rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan — where he closed out both his 2016 and 2020 campaigns.

In Pittsburgh, Trump brought his family out, announced he had been endorsed by podcaster Joe Rogan, and was joined on stage by Megyn Kelly. Because he spoke for approximately two hours, his supporters at his final rally in Michigan waited past midnight for his arrival. The former president finished speaking at 2.09am.

Also at midnight, the first in-person votes were cast in Dixville Notch, New Hampshire — a tradition going back almost 65 years. There are just six registered voters in the town who split evenly between the two candidates.
