With just one week to go until the U.S. presidential election, Americast roleplays as campaign managers for the Trump and Harris teams. Justin, Sarah and Marianna look at how they should be handling the last days of their campaigns, who should they be targeting, where should they go, and what their key messages should be in the last stretch before polling day.

We got a week to go and that means that we can reveal to you not who's going to win, but who should be doing what behind the scenes.
Because for this edition, we're going to turn ourselves into campaign managers.
And in a race that is still obviously too close to call, we are going to try to imagine what those managers are saying to the candidates now about what they need to do to bring it all home.
