Kamala Harris' campaign adviser has said she is positioned to win the presidential election and could take all seven battleground states.
David Plouffe, the former campaign manager for President Barack Obama, is working as a senior adviser in the Harris-Walz campaign.
Speaking on CNN on Monday night, Plouffe told anchor Erin Burnett that the "energy" of the Harris campaign had helped her win over undecided voters to put her in pole position.
"We think we have momentum; we think we're closing well," Plouffe said. "We think we're winning more of the people who've decided in the last week than Donald Trump. And there are still undecided voters, and we think we are positioned to win them."
Explaining this, Plouffe argued that the Harris campaign volunteers—who were "committed," willing to work four-to-six-hour shifts and familiar with the areas in which they were operating—were a "secret weapon."
He also added that Harris could potentially take all seven battleground states, telling Burnett "we have a credible pathway to all seven states tomorrow night to go into Kamala Harris' column."
Burnett then quizzed Plouffe on a recent prediction by political analyst Jon Ralston that Harris will beat Donald Trump 48.5 percent to 48.2 percent in the battleground state of Nevada thanks to independent voters.
Nevada has voted Democrat since 2008.
"When we look at the folks who voted so far—Democrats, Republicans but particularly that very important group of voters that are not affiliated, we think that adds up, as long as we do our job," Plouffe said.
He also said that the campaign was planned on the assumption that there would not be a "hidden positive surprise" for Harris where she does two or three points better than the data suggests.
"We certainly are planning for a race where that doesn't happen. I think Jon Ralston's prediction today in Nevada was 0.3. It's possible across all seven of these states we could see the winner 0.2, 0.3, 0.8, 1 point. And again, that's where organization comes in because if you have got the ability in the closing week and that closing day to talk to everybody you need to talk to, it makes a big difference."
