Donald Trump's campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, joined Fox News host Chris Wallace on Sunday to discuss whether Trump can plausibly accrue the 270 Electoral College votes he needs to win the White House.
After Wallace asked what Trump's "realistic path" to that victory could be, the famously smooth-talking Conway insisted with a rapid-fire list of states that the race is not over yet. Clinton is "still under 50 [percent] everywhere," Conway argued, despite an advertising budget that far exceeds Trump's ad spending.
Lapsed voters and first-time voters are enthusiastic about her candidate, Conway added, but likely to be underrepresented in polling data. "We're not giving up," she concluded. "We know we can win this, and we are certainly not acceding to the same chattering class that's been wrong about Donald Trump for about a year and a half." Watch the full exchange below.
