Appearance on Trump's turf seen as a gamble to snap tight election race

 A combative Kamala Harris pledged a clean break from Mr Joe Biden's presidency on Oct 16 in a feisty interview with right-wing Fox News as she sought to reach Republican voters wary of Donald Trump.
Ms Harris clashed with interviewer Bret Baier on hot-button issues including immigration, with the Democratic nominee repeatedly asking to be allowed to complete her answers.
“May I finish responding?” Vice-President Harris at one point said to Mr Baier, regarded as a tough but fair interviewer, in an encounter broadcast from the battleground state of Pennsylvania.
Pressed on previous comments when she said she could not think of anything she would have done differently from Mr Biden, Ms Harris replied: “My presidency will not be a continuation of Joe Biden's presidency.”
“I will bring my life experiences, my professional experiences, and fresh and new ideas. I represent a new generation of leadership,” added Ms Harris, 59, who became her party's nominee after the ageing Mr Biden dropped out in July.
Mr Biden had said on Oct 15 that Ms Harris would “cut her own path” as president.
