Stay informed with FP’s news and analysis as the United States prepares to vote.
In January, Foreign Policy called 2024 “the year the world votes.” Seven of the 10 most populous countries were scheduled to head to the polls this year, including Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Mexico, and Pakistan. But in terms of global influence, there can be little argument that the most consequential election will take place in the United States on Nov. 5. From wars in the Middle East and Europe to competition with China, the next occupant of the White House could play a pivotal role in global affairs.
Live coverage isn’t FP’s usual mode, but we wanted to create a one-stop page for readers to hear from our writers about how the U.S. election is being watched around the world and how the future of a number of policy areas—from combating climate change to AI regulation—hinges on the next U.S. administration. Bookmark the page, share it with friends, and come by often! We’ll update regularly this week and live next week as the results come in.—The Editors
