cornell, let me start with you. drilling into the deja vu for democrats, the biden campaign sharing this warning with donors in a memo we managed to get our hands on. quote, we cannot become complacent because the searing truth is that donald trump can still win this race. every indication we have shows that this thing is going to come down to the wire. cornell, what's different in 2020 versus 2016? >> well, there is a great deal of difference. however, the biden campaign is spot on. i mean, i worked for two obama campaigns, and we took nothing for granted. if you have a lead, you should be nervous. take nothing for granted. double down on that. structurally, craig, there are several things that are different. that's not to say that trump can't still win this race. and people need to understand that. structurally, it is different. when you look at the way college white women have broken away from this republican party, it is structurally different than what we saw in 2016. certainly, you know, obama went back-to-bac

cornell is right.s awesome and amazing and certainly transformative for a generation of us. and got out people, and it was exciting. but we've never really seen anything in our lifetime like we saw on the scale of the inauguration of donald trump, when the women's march hit and literally was the largest in history. the resist movement that then followed is what changed the forces of congress and made at this time most diverse congress in history. donald trump is riling people up for sure and calling to participate for better or for worse. i am thinking of how do the democrats seize this moment when there is so much racial turmoil in america. we have black bodies bleeding in the streets. we have cops getting off forward murders of breonna taylor. we have structural racism that persists in our country. now is the moment when democrats can actually, who have power in the house, can actually do something to change the game that has been gaining us. we have been in pain since we first set foot on the shores

for all this, i want to bring in jonathan swan from axios and cornell and juanita. jonathan, you look at the numbers. they cut against the conventional wisdom that nobody out there changes their mind in america anymore. but they do suggest that those with changing minds are changing away from trump. >> that's true and what is also true, voters that don't like either candidate falling into biden's problem which is a huge problem for donald trump. donald trump has problems across multiple areas and it's not so much that trump has his supporters all in a huge amount, it fallen in certain areas to a certain extent, he hasn't expanded support since 2016. he just hasn't. you can look at 2016 voter, you compare the voter role and pew and validations to now. trump is basically stable and made a few gains with hispanics but biden is over performing and doing terribly well with seniors. >> stable or stable genius? >> i wouldn't -- [ laughter ] >> very narrowly to some polling data there, not to anything about the candidate. but it's not that trump has fallen off a huge amount
