Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager Robby Mook admitted late Wednesday that the election will be close, as he tried to rally the Democratic troops less than two weeks before Election Day.
“It’s going to be close. No complacency,” he tweeted.
The Clinton camp had previously expressed a confident aura, particularly as most polls show her ahead in the popular vote and the Electoral College race. Trump’s team has said there is still a path to victory, and Mook said in a get-out-the-vote video released by the campaign the same day in which he admitted Trump is “absolutely right” that he can still win the White House.

“Make no mistake. With only 10 percent of votes cast, Donald Trump could win this election. But if each one of us makes our voices heard and we all vote, we’re going to win,” he said.
“Donald Trump has been going around telling people not to listen to the polls and saying that he can still win this race. Well you know what? He’s absolutely right. Hillary’s got the wind at her back but we can’t become overconfident,” said Mook, warning battleground states like North Carolina, Florida, and New Hampshire could go for Trump. “We’ve seen polls tighten since the third debate and we expect things to get even closer before election day.”
