Today, we discuss Kamala Harris’ change in tone: from asking voters to choose joy, to calling her opponent Donald Trump a ‘fascist’.
Adam is joined by BBC News chief presenters, Sumi Somaskanda and Caitríona Perry from Washington to talk about how both campaigns are approaching the final fortnight of the campaign, the latest polling in the crucial swing states and the news Beyonce might make an appearance with Harris in Houston, Texas.
And, diplomatic correspondent James Landale chats about Keir Starmer at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Conference in Samoa, and why other leaders at the summit want Britain - and especially the Labour government - to look at reparatory justice for the transatlantic slave trade.
