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.Pat Buchanan breathed new life into his fading presidential campaign, 48 hours before "Super Tuesday", with an upset win over Bob Dole in Republican caucuses in Missouri, the clutch of major primaries across the South, writes Rupert Cornwell.
Almost complete returns showed the right-wing commentator with 35 per cent, Mr Dole 30 per cent and 26 per cent uncommitted. Voters were not directly choosing Missouri's 36 delegates to August's nominating convention in San Diego.
