Trump ‘likelier winner’ unless Harris tackles two failings, says ex-ambassador

Kim Darroch says the Democratic nominee must focus on US swing states and avoid repeating Hillary Clinton's errors

Donald Trump will remain the likelier winner" of the US presidential election on 5 November unless the Democratic nominee, Kamala Harris, addresses key failings in her campaign, a former British ambassador to Washington says on Sunday.

Kim Darroch says that despite clearly getting the better of Trump in last week's televised head-to-head debate, Harris risks making two crucial mistakes in the final weeks of campaigning, which mean the former Republican president is still the favourite.
