The Big Story

US election closely watched across the world

The election is especially being closely watched in Ukraine, with U.S. policy for the war-torn nation largely hinging on who wins Tuesday.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is staying away from making any public statements about the election after wading into the issue in September.

Zelensky drew the ire of Republicans when he said that Trump's running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), was "too radical," and after he visited a Pennsylvania ammunition factory with only Democrats.

Still, much is on the line for Ukraine.........
