There are historical reasons why Britons do not get a vote in US presidential elections. But if they did, Kamala Harris would win in a landslide. According to a YouGov survey, the Democratic candidate has the support of 89 per cent of Liberal Democrat voters, 82 per cent of Labour and even 58 per cent of Conservatives. Only Reform UK voters back Donald Trump.
Of course, it is Americans who will decide. And the election is on a knife-edge. If the polls are right, the contest will come down to mere tens of thousands of voters in seven swing states, chief among them Pennsylvania, which went for the Republicans in 2016 before returning to the Democrats in 2020
