What we’re tracking on 19 October, 2016

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump clash overnight tonight in the third and final debate of the 2016 US presidential election. They’re set to get underway starting 9pm Eastern on Wednesday, 19 October (that’s 3am CLT on Thursday, 20 October). Politico expects Clinton to trounce The Donald. Can’t stay up to watch it live? CNN International will rebroadcast the debate at 8am CLT (6am GMT) according to their updated schedule for Thursday morning.

Clinton is “leading in enough states to put her comfortably over the 270 majority needed to win the presidential election in November” a Washington Post / SurveyMonkey poll released just before tonight’s clash reported. As Trump continues to warn that the election will have been “rigged” if he loses, the New York Times estimates that Clinton has a 92% chance of winning.
