Kamala Harris team calls itself ‘clear underdogs’ and Trump ‘formidable’

Washington, Sep 1 (IANS) In a bid to lower expectations and energise Democrats, US Vice-President Kamala Harris’s campaign team described itself as the “clear underdogs” in a note on Sunday and said the 2024 White House race will be decided by “razor-thin” margins in the battleground states as in 2020. The note, by Harris campaign chair Chair Jen O’Malley Dillon, acknowledged former President Donald Trump, who is the Republican nominee for the White House, remained a “formidable candidate” and said he has a “motivated base of support, with more support and higher favorability than he has had at any point since 2020″.”Make no mistake,” Dillon wrote, “We head into the final stretch of this race as the clear underdogs.”Harris leads Trump 48 per cent to 46.2 per cent in the average of national polls computed by RealClear
