CNN political commentator and former senior adviser to Barack Obama David Axelrod encouraged Democrats to curb their enthusiasm around Vice President Kamala Harris, the party's presumptive presidential nominee.

JESSICA DEAN, CNN: Yes. And look, she has a lot of momentum. But if you do look at the polling, this is still a really tight race. This is going to be a hard fight for either side -- tough based on the numbers we're seeing right now.

AXELROD: 100 percent. 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.

Now people feel like there's a chance. But it is absolutely Trump's race to lose right now. He is ahead and he is ahead in most of the battleground states. They are close, they can be won by either candidate. But there's a lot to be determined in the next 90-whatever days -- 96 or what it is left.

So yes, 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.
