Republican officials see Trump’s campaign as comparable in size to a midterm election rather than a presidential
Republican officials are raising the alarm that Donald Trump’s campaign has invested far fewer resources for its voter turnout operation in battleground states than previous presidential election races, and attempts to bridge the gap with political action committees have come too late.
The Republican National Committee once envisioned an extensive field operation for the 2024 election, including having about 90 staffers in the must-win state of Pennsylvania.
But the Trump campaign scrapped those plans when it took over the RNC in March, redirecting the focus on field operations to combating supposed voter fraud and pursuing a twin voter turnout strategy of relying on several political action committees and ardent Trump volunteers.
Yet more proof that Trump’s strategy – his primary one, not even a plan B – is to try to sabotage the counting and certification of the votes and be put in power either by SCOTUS or by neither candidate getting to 270 EC votes resulting in the election being decided by a “one state, one vote” poll in the House.
