Kamala Harris made another pitch to moderate voters on Thursday, distancing her positions from the left of the Democratic party on immigration, energy and foreign policy in her first big interview since launching her White House run.
The US vice-president spoke to CNN at a café in Savannah, Georgia, alongside her running mate Tim Walz, as she tries to maintain the momentum that has given her a slight polling lead over Donald Trump in the presidential race.
Faced with persistent concerns among voters over inflation, Harris vowed to take new steps to lower costs of housing, drugs and food on her first day in office if she beats Trump, but defended the Biden administration’s handling of the economy.
