Trick or treating with Philadelphia's Republicans

The Americast team are in costume for this one

Welcome to another day on the road with the Americast pop-up studio!

Justin and Marianna are trick-or-treating in Philadelphia, a crucial area in the key state of Pennsylvania. They're speaking to voters on their doorsteps about how they’re feeling ahead of 5 November, which is now just five days away…

They discuss whether people are concerned about the fallout after election day, their trust in the election process, and why some voters are pinning their hopes on a second Trump term.

HOSTS:
* Justin Webb, Radio 4 presenter
* Marianna Spring, Social Media Investigations Correspondent
