OTTAWA — David Axelrod, a top American Democratic political strategist, wasn’t talking about Canada or Justin Trudeau when he outlined a pessimistic view of U.S. President Joe Biden’s chances at re-election.
Presidential campaigns are unlike other races, he said — quoting Bill Clinton who remarked that winning campaigns are not about the past, they’re about the future.
They’re less about issues than they are about narratives — Axelrod, who directed Barack Obama’s campaigns, said issues have to “animate the narrative.”
