KRISTEN WELKER: One of the other big headlines is that Harris is up by nine points when we asked, “Who is the change candidate?” She is currently in The White House! She’s the current Vice President and she’s…
AMY WALTER: So it's extraordinary that she's made this argument.
WELKER: What's behind that and what are your key takeaways… (unint)?
WALTER: My key takeaways is that she's been able to change this from a race that was a referendum on Joe Biden to a race that is a referendum on Donald Trump. And what's remarkable to me beyond the favorable numbers: when you look at the questions of “Who do you think can serve as Commander-in-Chief?” “Who do you think will be capable and effective?” She has not only been able to not just move into the positive column there, but she’s- on the issue of “competent and effective”, she’s seen- she’s moved 23 points from where Biden was. I mean, this was a big advantage for Trump going into the election when Biden was the nominee.
