Despite gaining a post-convention edge in polls, Jen O'Malley Dillon, chair of the Harris-Walz campaign, says in a memo out Sunday — "The State of the Race 65 Days Out" — that her candidate is the underdog.
Between the lines: Both sides try to lower expectations. The Trump campaign correctly said Harris would likely get a polling bounce after her convention.
What they're saying: "While Donald Trump is a heavily defined candidate, voters do not know Vice President Harris or Governor Walz as well," O'Malley Dillon writes. "While we continue to ramp up our organizing and paid efforts, over this final stretch, an aggressive campaigning schedule to introduce and define our ticket to the voters that will decide this election will be critical."
"Bottom line: Make no mistake: the next 65 days will be very hard. This race will remain incredibly close, and the voters who will decide this election will require an extraordinary amount of work to win over. But we have the candidate, message, and operation that brings Americans together to chart a new way forward, so we can once again defeat Donald Trump."
The other side: Chris LaCivita, co-manager of the Trump campaign, tells Axios that no matter "how the national media and Harris campaign phrase it, the working middle class of America needs help."
"They need help from a real leader committed and with a plan to eliminate the inflationary stranglehold that is making ends meet harder by the day — food costs, energy costs and the death of the American dream," LaCivita added.
"They want a leader focused on them ... That's the focus of Donald Trump, and that's what the next 65 days will show. Who is fighting for us?"

Democrat voters can't tell you why they will vote for Kamala, just that she's a Democrat and they've been told to vote for her.
I've seen many videos where they are asked and not one can come up with an answer. Some say because " she's a woman of color".
Hell of a reason to elect a President.

Its the only play they have, be an underdog and hope they get a sympathy vote?
I dont know, she has done nothing of note her entire career she cant speak publicly and stutters worse than her boss with dementia when she has to.
So yea I guess play the part of an underdog.
Dems are "the clear underdogs," says Jen O'Malley Dillon, chair of the Harris-Walz campaign
