New York Times/Siena College poll shows Donald Trump with a 1 -point lead nationally.

Julian Zelizer : Kamala Harris needs to shake up her deeply conservative campaign.

He says it's hard to watch her flailing campaign without thinking of Veep 's Selina Meyer .

Zelizer says she's letting the Trump campaign do it for her.

Julian Zelizer : By a margin of nearly 30 points, likely voters say Trump would bring more change than Harris .

He says Harris is playing a track that has been in heavy rotation throughout the Trump era that hardly anyone is even listening anymore.

Zelizer says it's not that Harris should be talking about police abolition, but there is a middle ground that's abandoned.

Kamala Harris' campaign seems to think that the Biden policy record speaks for itself and that all Democrats needed was a new nominee who says as little as possible about any of it.

Julian Zelizer: Harris should embrace and campaign behind a small number of bold ideas to address intractable problems like soaring health care costs.
