“We’re confident we’re going to win, and it’s not because we’re running away with it,” Harris campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon told reporters Tuesday.
Argggggh! Whatever your personal predictions are, do not say you’re confident you’re going to win. That’s a great way to get marginal voters who might have not wanted to vote for Harris but thought it was necessary to stop Trump to reevaluate the choice. You can add all kinds of descriptors about how it’s a close race and need to push hard to the very end, but if you say you’re confident you’re going to win, that’s the part that people (and gossipy reporters) are going to take from it.
