Hillary Clinton adviser Joel Benenson on Sunday said he doesn’t think the FBI’s new email review has hurt the Democratic presidential nominee’s campaign.

{mosads}”I think it obviously occupied a lot of air space,” Benenson said on “Fox News Sunday.”

“But I think, we’ve been knocking on doors, we have had lines all weekend at our phone banks of people waiting to get in. We’ve knocked on 2 million doors this weekend.”

Benenson also touted the campaign’s progress among early voters.

“Our people are going out to vote where the early vote is going on,” he said.

“States like Florida, states like Nevada, very strong numbers and not just with our base Democratic voters, but we think we’re seeing a surge with suburban women, younger people, millennials broadening our coalition.”

The Clinton campaign is playing offense, Benenson said, adding that in the past few weeks, the campaign has had a surge in resources.

“Our job here is every state we make harder for Donald Trump to win, makes his path narrower and narrower,” he said.

“We always wanted to be in a position where we’re not trying to thread a needle.”

He said he thinks the Clinton campaign is in good shape going into Election Day, adding that voters are rejecting the divisive rhetoric they have heard from the GOP nominee throughout his campaign.

“It’s not over until the fat lady sings, as they say,” Benenson said.

“But we’re going into Election Day playing offense, keeping them on defense.”
