The election was initially a rematch of 2020 but it was upended in July when President Joe Biden ended his campaign and endorsed Vice-President Kamala Harris.

The big question now is - will the result mean a second Donald Trump term or America’s first woman president?

As election day approaches, we'll be keeping track of the polls and seeing what effect big events like Tuesday’s presidential debate have on the race for the White House.

Trump and Harris met for the first time as candidates at the TV debate in Pennsylvania on Tuesday night, with the BBC’s Anthony Zurcher saying the Democrat came out on top in the fiery encounter.
