As the U.S approaches its 2020 Presidential Election, 1 NEWS will bring viewers comprehensive coverage of all the overseas action from this year’s campaign.
 
“TVNZ’s programming line-up will give Kiwis a front-row seat to the events as they unfold as well as providing analysis of just what it means for New Zealand”, says Graeme Muir, TVNZ’s Acting Head of News and Current Affairs.
 
“2020 has been an unprecedented year in politics, and outside of our own General Election our viewers are invested in knowing who will be the next president of the United States – will it be four more years of disruption or are we about to see a new era with Jo Biden?
 
“Whatever the result, the outcome will matter to everyone, and the 1 NEWS team will be there every step of the way.”
