Democrats are sweating but nothing is certain in the race for the White House
Description
Trump or Harris? We'll know America's answer in just two weeks, but until then the race is too close to call.

But it is the Republicans feeling happiest, with polls tightening in Donald Trump's favour in places like Wisconsin. That's where Washington correspondent Keith Duggan talks to Hugh from today. They discuss the last-minute attacks each candidate is directing at their opponent, Donald Trump's declining rhetoric and the shifting landscape of class- and race-based political loyalties that makes American politics so unpredictable.
