Channel 4 has commissioned the fast-turnaround documentary Trump v Harris: The Battle for America<\/em> from ITN Productions to air on August 7.<\/p>\n

The one-off 60-minute special will focus on the battle between U.S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, the likely Democratic presidential nominee. The commission came hours after Harris indicated her intention to enter the race after President Joe Biden stepped back.<\/p>\n

Channel 4 News<\/em> anchor Matt Frei will present the documentary, which will feature analysis of Trump and Harris\u2019s history as political opponents, interviews with politicians on both sides of the Atlantic and provides a \u201ctemperature check\u201d of the U.S. electorate.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is such a fascinating and hugely important story,\u201d said Ian Rumsey, managing director of content at ITN. \u201cITN Productions specializes in high-quality documentaries, often delivered at great speed\u2014and this program will give a detailed sense of the choice facing voters in the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs soon as Kamala Harris entered the field, the U.S. presidential race was turned on its head,\u201d noted Jeremy Daldry, deputy head of U.K. factual at ITN Productions and executive producer of the film. \u201cOur film reflects the drama of U.S. 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?\u201d<\/p>\n

Louisa Compton, head of news and current affairs and specialist factual and sport at Channel 4, added, \u201cNever has U.S. 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.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
