The UK and US relationship is considered a close one, with both taking great interest in events of the other across the Atlantic.

Labour recently won the race to Downing Street in July, with Sir Keir Starmer replacing Conservative PM Rishi Sunak.

And now keen eyes turn to the battle for The White House, as Kamala Harris and Donald Trump wait to see who has won their way to Washington.

Recent YouGov figures show that 61% of people in the UK want Kamala Harris to become the next President of the United States, compared to 16% who are in favour of Donald Trump.

It is widely considered by some that Labour Prime Ministers work better with Democratic presidents than Republicans with many political commentators maintaining a Starmer-Harris relationship would be the smoothest outcome for the UK.

The economy is one of the big talking points in this US election, and it has been a topic widely discussed in the political landscape in the United Kingdom too, with conversations during Trump’s Presidency about how each could help the other after Brexit.

Women’s Rights has been a headline issue in the US election campaigning, and women all over the world watching anxiously on the outcome and the impact this may have in the UK and beyond.

And what could it mean for the ongoing conflicts in the world and the UK’s position?

With both the Democratic and Republican campaigning starting quite some time ago, the campaign race has almost been impossible to avoid with many news breaking events along the timeline.

There will be different levels of interest from the UK public and with the time difference, many will stay up late to track what is set to be the closest count of votes. while others will wak to read the news of events that have unfolded while they were asleep.
