In the US election, seven battleground states could swing the contest towards Republican Donald Trump or Democrat Kamala Harris. Voters in these states have faced a barrage of outreach and campaign visits. We hear from a panel of local journalists taking the pulse of their communities, on the calculus of voters they’ve been talking to and the issues that matter most.
