Welcome to the WIRED live blog for the 2024 US presidential election! This week, we’ll have an especially close eye on conspiracy theories, extremism, propaganda, claims of fraud, what Elon Musk and other tech barons are doing, and professional influencers. It’s going to be a long week—but we’ll all get through it together.

We’ll be bringing you coverage from David Gilbert and Vittoria Elliott as they report from, respectively, Arizona and Pennsylvania, while Dell Cameron, Leah Feiger, Makena Kelly, Tim Marchman, and Tess Owen, as well as guests from around the WIRED newsroom, let you know what they’re seeing and hearing.
