Sarah has gone to Georgia, and the weather isn’t the only thing that’s heating up. Kamala Harris has openly described Donald Trump as a “fascist” at a town hall, and Sarah is outside one of his rallies to find out why his supporters are sticking by him.
She’s joined by Anthony to talk about what life is like for a BBC correspondent reporting from political rallies when tensions are this high.
And we return to our own 'Electoral College', in which Anthony explains the importance of town hall events to presidential elections.
