Announcement

November 5, Americans will elect a President, a third of the U.S. Senate and all of the House of Representatives. Americans get to choose, but the Japanese must live with the consequences. What are Americans' concerns as they go to the polls? Will Kamala Harris or Donald Trump prevail? Will the Republicans or Democrats control the Congress? And what this mean for Japan and the rest of the world?
