PHILADELPHIA - In the home stretch of an extraordinarily tight US presidential race, Ms Kamala Harris is courting support in the largest city of the largest battleground state - one voter at a time.
Locked in a political duel with Republican Donald Trump, the Vice-President took to the streets of Philadelphia on Oct 27 for a frantic ground-game of campaigning.
In multiple stops across ethnically diverse neighbourhoods, Ms Harris hugged voters, cuddled babies, wooed patrons at local establishments and quoted scripture in a predominantly black church.
With barely a week to go, Ms Harris is leaving nothing to chance in Philadelphia, where she must run up her vote tally to win the ultimate battleground state of Pennsylvania.
Ms Harris rolled up to Philly Cuts barber shop in the largely black neighbourhood of West Philadelphia to meet residents, before ducking into Hakim's Bookstore & Gift Shop.
