America is 'a deeply divided country'

Sky News host Rita Panahi says America is a “deeply divided country” as the votes are very close for two candidates who are “polar opposites, ideologically, on so many key issues”.

“Everyone was anticipating a blue wave, that’s what the polls were telling us, and the blue wave didn’t eventuate,” Ms Panahi said.

“The numbers are very close and the Republican voters, many of them, don’t trust the electoral process.

“They don’t believe everything has been handled fairly.

“They are seeing all sort of episodes, especially in places like Philadelphia and Detroit that are giving more weight to that feeling that it wasn’t a fair process.

“After four years of watching their president be undermined by Russian collusion hoaxes, and the whole Ukraine nonsense, there’s so little trust in institutions that should be trusted.”
