David Axelrod highlights Trump's campaign strategy in defining Kamala Harris
David Axelrod, a veteran Democratic strategist, noted that Donald Trump's campaign effectively defined Kamala Harris as part of the status quo, linking her to President Biden's unpopularity on key issues like the economy and immigration. Harris faced significant challenges, including low approval ratings for Biden and rising inflation, which complicated her campaign. Axelrod acknowledged that while her campaign had strengths, it struggled against these "tremendous headwinds." Trump won the election with 295 Electoral College votes, surpassing the 270 needed for victory. He secured key states, including Wisconsin, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, while leading in Arizona and Nevada.
