This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Britain’s daily newspapers have again dedicated their front pages to the growing conflict in Israel and Gaza.

The Daily Telegraph, The Times, the Daily Mirror, the Daily Mail, the i, The Guardian and the Financial Times have all opted to lead with Israeli defence minister Yoav Gallant’s vow to lay siege to those within the Gaza blockade.

The Times, Telegraph, Daily Mail and i all feature the promise of Hamas rebels that one hostage will die for every strike on Gaza by Israel.

The Daily Mirror has painted a grim picture of the human toll of war with the headline “Pray for the innocents”.

The Daily Express runs with the simple headlie “bloodbath”.

The Metro tells of those “trapped in hell” while The Sun features a grim warning that the bloodshed is here to stay.

The Independent focuses on the 10 Britons either dead or considered missing in the Gaza-Israel conflict.

Only the Daily Star has opted for another story with a front page on the perils of fine dining.
