We are kicking off our US election coverage with The Hard Shoulder broadcasting live from New York.
Plus, our reporters will have the latest on the ground in two crucial states:
Josh Crosbie in Florida, a pivotal swing state and the residence of Donald Trump - and Barry Whyte from California, Kamala Harris' home state.
There are signs that Kamala Harris “has some momentum” as the US Presidential Election enters its final hours.
Tomorrow, Americans go to the polls and will choose either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump to serve as the 47th President of the United States.
The respected FiveThirtyEight polling website calculates that Mr Trump has a 53% chance of winning and Ms Harris has a 47% chance of victory.
On Newstalk Breakfast, The Guardian’s Washington Bureau Chief David Smith described it as “incredibly tight” in battleground states and said the result is “very hard to predict”.
“Some pundits I talk to say only a fool would really predict anything with certainty,” he said.
“There may be a few little clues that Kamala Harris has some momentum going into the final day.
“There was an interesting opinion poll over the weekend, not from a battleground state but from Iowa - where Harris had a three point lead.
“I think many believe she won’t win Iowa in the end but that could indicate things are moving in her direction.”
In 2016, Mr Trump shocked much of the world when he defied the odds and the polls by beating Hillary Clinton to the White House.
Mr Smith said this triggered a “crisis” in the polling industry and there are still concerns about accuracy eight-years on.
“In the 2022 midterms, it was Democrats who were underestimated,” he said.
“So, we’re not quite sure which way this is going to go.”
