US Election Unspun: Sign up for our BBC newsletter

It's been one heck of a year in US politics.

If you want to keep track of the twists and turns in the run-up to President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration, we've got you covered.

If you're in the UK, sign up here.

And if you're anywhere else, sign up here.

US Election Unspun will arrive in your inbox every Wednesday and Friday, and it'll be written by me, Anthony Zurcher. I've been reporting on US politics for nearly 30 years and have spent more than a decade here at the BBC, covering elections, Congress and the White House.

Each week, I'll send you my takeaway of what you really need to know about US politics and help you see the bigger global picture.

I'll also suggest articles for essential further reading that I hope will make you feel well-informed.

As you probably know, American politics can be serious, amusing and downright absurd, and sometimes all three at once. So I'll try to cover the lighter aspects too.

If you have burning questions you'd like me to answer, please drop me a line at [email protected], and I will do my best to answer them in an upcoming edition.
