The US election on November 5 will be historic, as has been the race leading up to it. In the early stages of the campaign, this was the first election between a sitting president and a former president in more than 60 years. In June there was the earliest presidential debate in history between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, soon after which Mr Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed his Vice President, who secured and accepted the Democratic party's nomination for the presidency.
This election cycle is rife with tension and conflict, packaged with information about swing states and an electoral college that voters and onlookers can find daunting. It comes with war raging in the Middle East, Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine close to its three-year mark, and worries at home, from recent natural disasters to economic woes.
With the White House up for grabs, we’re taking a look at what makes up a US election race, with Arab Americans and war in the Middle East unexpectedly to the fore.
