Ms Harris has been vice-president in Joe Biden’s administration since 2021 .

She is seen as a moderate Democrat , while Trump has reshaped his party in his image and presents more radical change.

The Telegraph compares where the two candidates stand on key issues facing the US .

Ms Harris believes every woman should have the right to a legal abortion.

Trump has said he supports exceptions for cases such as rape, incest, and the life of the mother.

Trump is likely to oversee an America that is confrontational when it came to international trade and he supports large tariffs on China and many other nations.

Ms Harris has sought to create some space between herself and Mr Biden on the issue, by speaking out more forcefully about the civilians killed.

In March , she talked of a “human catastrophe” while last month she skipped Netanyahu ’s address to Congress but did meet with him.

Trump has repeatedly mocked electric vehicles but has since softened his stance, in part as his friendship with Elon Musk has grown.
