The Trump team has distanced itself from Hinchcliffe’s remarks which he made at the Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday. That hasn’t stopped one of the world’s top Latin celebrities, Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny, from endorsing Kamala Harris as president.

With just over a week to go until election day, Donald Trump has done a three hour sit down interview with America’s biggest podcast host, Joe Rogan. It’s a direct appeal to men, particularly young, undecided male voters, and those who aren’t interested in traditional politics. Justin and Sarah discuss how significant this might be for Trump, and also, whether Kamala Harris is losing some momentum. We also hear from traditional Democrat voters Zoe and Herbert in Atlanta - the owners of a hair salon and barbershop - on what they really think about Kamala Harris.

In a phone call following the 2020 election, Donald Trump pressured Georgia’s Secretary of State to "find 11,780 votes" – a move which along with other alleged efforts to overturn the result led to criminal charges against Trump and some of his allies. ​​ ​​Sarah’s there, and she’s been hearing about legal cases over who can and can’t vote, as well as from Trump supporters who already have doubts about the reliability of the result. ​​ ​​She, Anthony, and Marianna discuss whether we could see similar events to those that led to the Jan 6 riots. ​​ ​​Plus, what are social media companies doing, and not doing, to try to prevent disinformation. ​​ ​​HOSTS: ​​• Marianna Spring, Social Media and Disinformation Correspondent ​​• Sarah Smith, North America Editor ​​Anthony Zurcher, North America Correspondent ​​ ​​GET IN TOUCH: ​​• Join our online community: https://discord.gg/qSrxqNcmRB ​​• Send us a message or voice note via WhatsApp to +44 330 123 9480 ​​• Email Americast@bbc.co.uk ​​• Or use #Americast ​​ ​​This episode was made by Chris Flynn and Catherine Fusillo in London, and Purvee Pattni and Claire Betzer in the US.
