"Let me be very clear. My presidency will not be a continuation of Joe Biden’s presidency, and like every new president that comes into office, I will bring my life experiences, my professional experiences, and fresh new ideas. I represent a new generation of leadership," Harris said during the interview.

During the half-hour conversation, the Vice President assured that she would be open to suggestions from Republicans who support her, pointing to her economic program, which includes support for building new homes and small businesses.

Speaking on the issue of migration, she conveyed, "The point is that we have a broken immigration system that needs to be repaired," she admitted.

Referring to cases of murders of young women by illegal immigrants, Harris expressed regret. At the same time, she accused Donald Trump of torpedoing a bipartisan border restriction project and stated he does not want to solve the immigration problem but instead uses it in hismpaign.

Harris warned voters about Trump

When addressing concerns about Biden's health, Harris defended him, highlighting his competence. She said that the sitting President has the right judgment and experience to make important decisions. However, she made it clear that Biden will not be running in the upcoming presidential election. At the same time, she warned that voters should be alarmed by the "unstable" condition - in her opinion - of Trump.

She also accused the network of manipulation when it aired a truncated statement by Trump about "internal enemies" during the interview.

Harris maintains "steadfast" commitment to Israel

In response to a question about her previous statement that she considers Iran America's greatest adversary, Harris said she maintains her "steadfast" commitment to ensure that Israel can defend itself against attacks from Iran and its allies. She also accused Trump of contributing to instability in the region by withdrawing from the nuclear deal with Iran.

The interview with Fox News was part of Harris's strategy aimed at attracting more moderate Republican voters, especially those who are reluctant to support Trump.

Just before the interview, the Democratic candidate appeared at a rally in Pennsylvania, accompanied by hundreds of Republican politicians who support her. During this rally, she praised former Vice President Mike Pence and portrayed Trump as a threat to the U.S. Constitution and democracy.
