Kamala Harris was crowned as the Democratic presidential nominee at a jubilant national convention in Chicago .

But senior party strategists told me they worried Democrats were over confident about her path to victory.

For victory, Harris needs to attract voters from beyond the Democrats ’ base.

Latest polls show a race that has tightened in recent weeks and is essentially a tie.

The most important swing state is Pennsylvania because it has the largest number of votes in the all-important electoral college.

Both sides have poured millions into advertising here to reach undecided voters.

Harris is focusing on women in the Pennsylvania suburbs - especially those who may usually vote Republican but are turned off by Trump ’s rhetoric and behaviour.
