US election night: Reserve your place at Brussels watch party on 5 November!

Now that Belgium has completed its electoral duty and is focused on forming a new federal government, attention is turning to the impending political race in the US.

American polls continue to predict a knife-edge finish between the two presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. Both the Democrat vice-president and Republican former president are stepping up their campaigns in battleground states ahead of the election on 5 November.

In Brussels, preparations are intensifying for the US Election Night 2024 watch party that is hosted at the five-star Le Chatelain Brussels hotel. It invites the international community and Belgian friends to follow the election results rolling in state by state on big screens, from 20.00 until late.  

The evening programme includes a debate between local Democrat and Republican party members, while a panel of expert analysts is also lined up to weigh in on the impact of the elections on transatlantic relations and geopolitics.

While waiting for key states to announce their results, attendees can test their knowledge of American politics in a prize quiz and cast their vote for candidates in a straw poll. Completing the entertainment programme is a cash bar and sale of traditional US street food.

To join the election party, entrance tickets priced at €15 need to be purchased online. With space at the hotel limited, it is recommended to get your tickets early!

Says co-organiser Larry Moffett: “The results of the upcoming US elections are critical for not only America, but Europe and the rest of the world. We will all be watching the results roll in and we invite everyone interested in US politics to join this election party to share the suspense.”

The event is organised by @seven international community with support from The Bulletin, the Press Club Brussels Europe and the American Club of Brussels (ACB).
