Review

David Brown

Pennsylvania made headlines back in July when Donald Trump became the target of a would-be assassin at a rally in Butler. And it will be a key battleground in the US presidential election in November, thanks to the electoral college system. With that in mind, Question Time is heading to the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia for a policy debate with an American panel and audience.

For context, viewers may also want to catch The Choice: Harris v Trump on PBS America at 8.35pm, which explores the leadership style of both candidates and their intentions for the country they hope to lead.
