Harris launches media blitz to win over US swing states in campaign's final month

The vice-president faced a series of largely friendly media outlets as the campaigns entered their final 30 days. More than 1.4 million Americans have already cast their ballots in early voting across 30 states.

The Democratic nominee's whirlwind media tour has been carefully crafted for maximum reach and minimum risk. Harris has talked to the CBS News show 60 Minutes, along with the popular podcast Call Her Daddy.

On Tuesday she hits the media capital, New York, for appearances on ABC News's daytime behemoth The View and the Howard Stern Show, followed by a recording with the latenight host Stephen Colbert.

The first of a flurry of comments from Harris was put out by 60 Minutes yesterday before the full broadcast is released today. The vice-president will appear alone after Trump declined to be interviewed for the special, a staple of US election coverage for more than 50 years.

In a short clip released by 60 Minutes, Harris was asked whether the Biden-Harris administration had any sway over the actions of Benjamin Netanyahu, the hardline prime minister of Israel who appears not to listen to Washington. Asked whether the US had a "real close ally" in Netanyahu, she replied: "With all due respect, the better question is: do we have an important alliance between the American people and the Israeli people? And the answer to that question is yes."

tenterhooks Ten Hag on as United draw a blank

Quite what this draw does for Erik ten Hag is unknown but it may just spare him the indignity of what seemed an inevitability had Manchester United slumped to a dam-aging defeat at Aston Villa. Maybe.
