The U.S. election has finally arrived…sort of. By the time most Aussies go to bed tonight, voting will have opened in most American states. By Wednesday night, (our time) counting will have begun to determine who will be the next President of the United States: Kamala Harris or Donald Trump. So, should Australians care? A Trump Presidency and a Harris Presidency could look very different for Australia — from trade to defence, the economy, culture, diplomacy, foreign aid and beyond. In today's deep dive, Chas Licciardello from the ABC's Planet America explains what the U.S. election means for Australia, and why you should care.
