7 days until the election... Who's winning?

Americast

With just one week to go until the U.S. presidential election, Americast roleplays as campaign managers for the Trump and Harris teams. Justin, Sarah and Marianna look at how they should be handling the last days of their campaigns, who should they be targeting, where should they go, and what their key messages should be in the last stretch before polling day.
