TRUMP v HARRIS: THE BATTLE FOR AMERICA ANNOUNCED FOR CHANNEL 4

ITN Productions has been commissioned by Channel 4 to produce a 1x60' documentary where Matt Frei examines the candidates and breaks down the US election.



With only four months to polling day and President Joe Biden withdrawing so suddenly, how will Donald Trump and the Republicans pivot their campaign to face the challenge of a much younger and dynamic Democratic nominee? And does Kamala Harris have what it takes to turn the tide for the Democrats and make it all the way to the White House?



ITN’s Managing Director of Content, Ian Rumsey said: “This is such a fascinating and hugely important story. ITN Productions specialises in high-quality documentaries, often delivered at great speed – and this programme will give a detailed sense of the choice facing voters in the United States.”


Jeremy Daldry, ITN Productions Deputy Head of UK Factual and executive producer of the film, said: “As soon as Kamala Harris entered the field, the US presidential race was turned on its head. Our film reflects the drama of US politics today with original journalism and analysis. What better way to get under the skin of this important, evolving story than talking to the people who will cast their vote?”



Louisa Compton, Head of News and Current Affairs and Specialist Factual and Sport at Channel 4, said: “Never has US politics felt more exciting or consequential than the last few weeks and Channel 4 is delighted to have ordered this reactive quick turnaround Matt Frei fronted documentary exploring the race to the White House.”


Trump v America: The Battle For America airs Wednesday 7th August at 9pm on Channel 4.
