    Newsweek: we’re such shit journalists that we don’t know what overhauls means and probably meant to use “overtakes”.

    (Just to be clear, this wasn’t a copy error on the poster - the article title is literally that)

      I had to look it up, but using overhaul with the meaning of overtake is apparently valid. It sounds odd to me, and I’ve never actually heard it used that way, but Merriam-Webster validates it.

        Oh weird, I even asked around with some of my linguistically minded coworkers and nobody was familiar with that expression. I wonder if there’s a region where it’s a more common usage.

          I’d believe that overhauls in this sense means that they have completely restructured/breathed new life to their campaign and thus gained favorability

      That and they could have directly said she’s ahead by 9 points amongst independents.

        Think less like a person trying to get your point across in a clear manner, and more like a person trying to generate clicks for money.
