Introducing a new destination for U.S. election discourse

Dive deeper into the topics and trends you care about on Substack

As the U.S. sprints to the finish of one of the most consequential presidential races in its history, Substack has become the destination for breaking news, critical analysis, and deep conversations about the election. Now we’re introducing a new way to keep up with what’s trending. 

Beginning today, the new U.S. election tab is available for all publishers and Substack readers on the web and in both the iOS and Android apps. The tab will dynamically collate the latest news, analysis, and discussions from top politics publishers across the platform and across the political spectrum, organized below live updates of the latest polling averages from

The U.S. election tab brings together a true diversity of perspectives from expert and original voices, and will allow more readers to discover publishers big and small. With this tab, all followers of U.S. politics can keep up with the day’s hottest topics. Catch up on the latest election forecast, courtesy of

’s latest breaking investigation. There are an abundance of incisive political voices publishing on Substack, but rest assured: you’ll find all of their latest work, and maybe even your own, in the election tab. 

The election tab will appear alongside a dynamic list of categories, including sports, culture, technology, business, and more, allowing readers to dive into a wide range of topics and find new voices on the subjects they care about. Trending topics will also pop up around key cultural moments, including Fashion Week, the NFL season kickoff, and more. This is just the beginning. These pages are in their earliest forms, and they will continuously update with relevant and useful information. 

Ultimately, we hope the tabs function as a destination for engaged Substack readers and a better discovery tool for the entire Substack network. The goal is to surface brilliant writing, connect readers with new publishers, inspire greater collaboration between creators, and link everyone on Substack to topics they care about. Let us know what you think in the comments, and what other events you’d like to see in the tabs.
