Breitbart: Axelrod: If Election Were Today, It May Well Be President Trump
At the Democratic National Convention, David Axelrod cautioned that despite some polls showing Vice President Harris leading, the election remains competitive. If it were held today, Trump could reclaim the presidency, as national numbers can be deceiving; battleground states matter.
Democrats need to turn enthusiasm into action if they want to win. Axelrod emphasized that while Biden’s prior victory was solid nationally, close margins in crucial states dictate the outcome. It's a tight race awaiting energetic mobilization.
