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.
Language is always evolving, never static. A dictionary and the definitions are backwards looking always. Dictionaries are always trying to keep up with the evolutions of language, but they’ll always lag behind.
Just keep in mind that words change how they’re used over our lifetimes, and it never stops.
E. G. Irregardless is now a valid word, when 15 and 20 years ago it was people mixing up regardless or irrespective so now I don’t even get that high horse anymore 😉

I’d believe that overhauls in this sense means that they have completely restructured/breathed new life to their campaign and thus gained favorability
They have since overhauled the headline.
Ha! They did mean “Overtakes”!
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.
I thought maybe she fired Trump and Vance.
I would
