TWO ELECTIONS ARE set to dominate the news over the next few weeks.

At the start of November, the United States will go to the polls to decide which of Kamala Harris and Donald Trump will become the country’s next president.

The dust will barely have settled on that when the Irish general election campaign is expected to kick off, with most predictions suggesting that the election will be called in early November before a vote at the end of the month.

The Journal’s fact-checkers will be on hand to tackle both events, with plans to look at the biggest claims from the last weeks of the US campaign, and everything from election leaflets to live debates in Ireland.
