Ongoing speculation over what a Donald Trump second term in office might look like continues to fill up the front pages of the US newspapers. Several front splashes look at how Trump’s tariff plans could come into effect and other economic changes that could be ushered in under the soon-to-be president.

Away from domestic politics, the US front pages mark Veterans Day as countless tributes fill the splashes to commemorate the war dead.

Jerome Powell, the head of the US Federal Reserve, dismissed speculation that former President Donald Trump could remove him from his position when he returns to office in January 2025. Speaking at a press conference after the Fed lowered its key interest rate to 4.5%-4.75%, Powell said he would not step down if asked, adding that the law protects his role from presidential interference.

Some of the US front pages reflect more updated reports regarding the US election, whilst others, due to time zones, are already old news! 

Only a handful of papers declare Donald Trump on the cusp of winning the election whilst others went to print long before those indications became clear. 

The more updated front pages also highlight the news the GOP has won back the Senate and that Donald Trump appears to have won the popular vote.

It’s election day in the US and millions of Americans will be heading to the booth to cast their vote for either Vice President Kamala Harris or former President Donald Trump. 

The front pages are heavily dominated by election coverage as they urge the public to make sure they get out and vote. The papers dissect both candidates, what they are offering and what could swing the election for either candidate. 

Recent polls suggest the race remains on a knife’s edge and at present there is no clear indication of what way this election could swing – or even whether America will have an answer tonight.
