Welcome to another day on the road with the Americast pop-up studio! Justin and Marianna are trick-or-treating in Philadelphia, a crucial area in the key state of Pennsylvania. They're speaking to voters on their doorsteps about how they’re feeling ahead of 5 November, which is now just five days away… They discuss whether people are concerned about the fallout after election day, their trust in the election process, and why some voters are pinning their hopes on a second Trump term.

It's Halloween, which means you can leave your house, you can talk to strangers.
In fact, they will talk to you.
They'll take candy from you as well if you have it, and if you haven't, they'll give you dagger eyes.
Because it's a huge event in America, as we all know.
But of course, this year it's happening just before the election and we are.
Here in Philadelphia walking about, chatting to people and we have got dressed up Americasters.
I've put some stickers on Justin and some stickers on myself.
