The Quicky

So... a lot has happened in the world of US politics since we checked in after last week's debate.

Following on from Taylor Swifts' endorsement of Kamala Harris & Tim Walz, we've seen everything from a another assassination attempt on Donald Trump to Elon Musk popping his hand up offering to, ah... procreate? 

As usual, we're joined by our go-to US election expert Amelia Lester to unpack it all.
