Harris calls Trump a threat, distances herself from Biden in Fox interview<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Democratic US presidential nominee Kamala Harris has conducted a combative first interview with Fox News.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

She clashed repeatedly with her host on topics such as transgender prisoners, illegal immigration and President Joe Biden\u2019s mental fitness.<\/p>\n

Harris’s foray on to a network that hosts some of her most vocal critics comes amid a flurry of media appearances with less than three weeks to go to polling day.<\/p>\n

Her rival Donald Trump, a frequent interviewee on Fox, appeared on the network on Wednesday himself – in a town hall-style event with an all-female audience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

He has been working to tackle a vulnerability with women voters but opinion polls suggest he has an advantage over Harris in getting male voter backing, BBC<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n

During her own 25-minute sit-down, Harris and Fox host Bret Baier often interrupted each other, with Harris at one point saying: \u201cI\u2019m in the middle of responding to the point you\u2019re raising and I\u2019d like to finish.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here are four takeaways:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

1) Harris challenged to apologise<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

The vice-president’s Fox interview began on the subject of immigration, with Baier playing her an emotional clip showing the mother of Jocelyn Nungaray, a 12-year-old girl killed by a migrant who had illegally crossed the border into the US and was released from detention.<\/p>\n

Asked whether she should apologise to the families of Americans who were killed by illegal migrants, Harris responded: “I’m so sorry for her loss.”<\/p>\n

\u201cThose are tragic cases,\u201d she added. \u201cThere\u2019s no question about that.”<\/p>\n

Baier also asked about her 2019 stance that border crossings should be decriminalised. This is one of several issues where the vice-president has been accused of flip-flopping.<\/p>\n

Harris said: \u201cI do not believe in decriminalising border crossings and I have not done that as vice-president, and I would not do that as president.\u201d<\/p>\n

She went on to blame Trump for persuading Republicans in Congress to vote down a border deal earlier this year, saying: “He preferred to run on a problem instead of fixing a problem.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
