What a Donald Trump victory in the US election could mean for the UK

The 2024 US presidential election is underway, as tens of millions of Americans take to polling booths across the country to cast their vote for the next US president. Polling has the two lead candidates, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, almost tied – as much of the world watches on in anticipation.

Citizens here have made their preferences clear: 64 per cent want to see a Harris victory, according to a poll from YouGov last month, while just 18 per cent want to see Trump in office again.
