Axelrod, a former Obama advisor, contends that Trump is the incumbent in the race, while Harris represents a "turn the page" candidate.

David Axelrod, a former Obama adviser, stated that Vice President Kamala Harris is positioning herself as the change candidate in the race to win over voters who are "tired" of another Donald Trump presidency.

During a Tuesday morning segment on CNN, Axelrod and anchor John Berman discussed the campaigns' efforts to reach voters in the tight race. Axelrod stated that Harris is attempting to reintroduce herself while portraying Trump as "more of the incumbent" in this contest.

John has been viewed as the "turn-the-page" candidate in the race since she emerged as a candidate, according to him.

He stated that there is a weariness with Trump and Trumpism, and people want to move on from this era. She has presented herself as the solution to achieve this, as the means to do so.

He stated that the powerful driver behind her surge had placed her in the race.

A new poll shows that the vice president has successfully bridged the enthusiasm gap among Democrats that existed during President Biden's campaign.

A poll conducted by USA Today and Suffolk University shows that among likely voters, Harris is leading Trump by 5%, which falls within the poll's margin of error.

In a recent Planet Chronicle poll, voters in the Sun Belt viewed Harris and Trump as equally capable of bringing needed change, with 49% support for Harris and 48% for Trump.

Axelrod argued on CNN that he believes Trump was the change in the race against Biden, but now that Trump is no longer the change, he is not the same.

He stated that the chant "we're not going back" refers to Trump's campaign, which presents a problem for those who support him.

During her first interview with CNN's Dana Bash last week, Harris emphasized the need to move on from the past decade and align with the true values of the country.

Harris stated that she meant leaving behind the political era marked by the rise of Donald Trump, which began in 2015, after Bash noted that she had been vice president for three-and-a-half years.

Axelrod contended that Harris successfully countered the Trump campaign's attempts to link her to Biden.

The Trump campaign has a problem because the woman being linked to Biden has established her own identity in the race.

Last week, Karoline Leavitt, the national press secretary for Trump 2024, stated to CNN that their campaign aims to highlight Joe Biden's failures and showcase Kamala Harris' role in them.

"The Trump 2024 national press secretary stated to CNN's Berman that their objective in the weeks leading up to Election Day is to make it clear to voters that Kamala Harris is not the candidate of change or the future, and that she is solely responsible for the failures of the past four years as the Vice President of the United States."

Trump has a history of exceeding public opinion polls, as stated by the campaign.

"In 2016, Donald Trump was trailing Hillary Clinton by an average of 5.9 points, while in 2020, Joe Biden was leading by 6.9 points, according to senior adviser Corey Lewandowski in a recent interview on "Planet Chronicle Sunday.""
