'We have an exit strategy': Meet the Australians in US swing states

The US election might look batshit crazy from afar – but what does it feel like if you’re witnessing the madness unfold live on the ground?

On this episode of the Briefing, we take you away from the polls, campaigns and the candidates, and into the homes of three different Australians living in US battleground states right now.

Each of their lives will be directly affected by the outcome. As millions cast their ballots across the US to choose the next President of the United States tomorrow, what do they think of being a part of this moment in history? Bension Siebert finds out.

This is part of The Briefing’s US election special – catch up on part one, where we explain the Electoral College and how you become President, here.
