US Election Night

  • Democrats vs. Republicans: Get ready for THE election of the century!
  • Information, Social Activity

On November 5, elections will be held in the USA. A fateful election not only for America, but probably also for the rest of the world. According to the polls, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are running a close neck-and-neck race that will be decided in the swing states.

The DAI Heidelberg traditionally hosts a wide-ranging supporting program on election night. A press panel, a debate between Democrats and Republicans, live broadcasts with US experts and an extensive entertainment program with live music, pub quizzes, snacks and drinks promise an informative and entertaining evening – right up to the election decision.
