Former advisor to Barack Obama and current CNN contributor David Axelrod says Democrats “should be sober” about how tough the election will be; “This is absolutely Trump’s race to lose.”

“There’s a lot of irrational exuberance on the Democratic side of the aisle right now because there was despair for some period of time about what November was going to look like,” Axelrod said on CNN.

“Now people feel like there’s a chance.”

Axelrod says Kamala’s spot at the top of the ticket doesn’t guarantee a win — far from it.

“It is absolutely Trump’s race to lose right now,” Axelrod said. “He is ahead and he is ahead in most of the battleground states. They’re close, they can be won by either candidate. But there is a lot to be determined in the next 90-whatever days – 96 or what it is left.

“So yeah, I think it’s a wide-open race, but Trump has the advantage right now and nobody should … nobody should be, nobody should be … everybody should be sober about that on the Democratic side.”
