And how do her more progressive policies sit with this caucus of undecided voters? Emily Tamkin reports from a busy DC, while Rohan Venkat and Tom Hamilton offer the perspective from across the continents, on everything from bipartisan support bases to multi-party systems.

On this week's episode of The Political Cycle, Rohan Venkat, Emily Tamkin and Tom Hamilton gather to take a 'vibes check' on their respective nations. Are the narratives emerging – that Kamala Harris has blown it, that Narendra Modi is in crisis, that Keir Starmer is another lame duck PM – matching reality? We also touch base with the results of the Haraya assembly elections and look at where they fit into the picture, as well as polling oscillations in the US, and staffing nightmares in Downing Street.

In an historic week for relations in the Middle-East, which saw Israel launch a ground invasion of Lebanon and Iran fire hundreds of missile towards the Israeli capital, The Political Cyclists gather to discuss the impact that war in the region is having on the American election. The US is widely seen as the most influential foreign policy actor in this conflict (outside of the immediate protagonists) and so the Harris vs Trump contest has taken on added importance. Emily Tamkin reports back from a fraught DC, while Rohan Venkat and Tom Hamilton probe the international perspective.
