Americast Americanswers! Do Harris/Trump actually need ANY policies?
Following her first interview since entering the presidential race, where does Vice-President Kamala Harris stand on the issues that matter to Americans?
And, is campaigning a family affair? We take a look at whether a single person could run for the White House, or whether a candidate could lose the race because of a media-shy partner.
