In what feels like a nail biting season finale of a trashy reality TV show, the race to the White House is finally reaching its boiling point with polls coming to a close. Here’s how to watch the US Presidential election in Australia.
In true all-American fashion, the 2024 US presidential election race has been quite dramatic.
From President Joe Biden stepping down, to Vice-President Kamala Harris jumping in with her iconic coconut tree quote, to an assassination attempt on former President and Republican candidate Donald Trump, it’s been quite a bumpy ride for our friends across the pond.
And with the election officially taking place on Tuesday, November 5 and election results rolling in on Wednesday, November 6, shit is truly about to hit their American Bunning-sized fan.
Of course, we nosy Nellies in Australia want to keep up to date with all the tea that’s about to be clocked through the whole shebang.
Here’s how you can take a peep at what’s going on at the US presidential election in Australia.
