The 59-year-old Democrat insisted on CNN that she would be tough on illegal immigration and support controversial oil and gas fracking, while sticking to her liberal background by pledging a fairer economy.
SAVANNAH - Kamala Harris declared Thursday that Americans are ready to turn the page on Donald Trump as she reached out to centrist voters in her first interview since her dramatic entry into November's presidential election.
"I think people are ready to turn the page on that," she said."People are ready for a new way forward." Addressing criticism that she had been too soft on immigration - a core part of Trump's right-wing message - Harris said that as president she would sign tough legislation. Harris meanwhile described for the first time how she was flipping pancakes and frying bacon with her family when Biden rang her on 21 July to say he was ending his White House bid.
She has enjoyed a honeymoon period with surging polls and record fundraising but has also faced scrutiny for keeping many of her policies vague as she pulls her campaign together at record speed.
