In a bid to swing the election, the ‘Trump Force 47’ army of volunteers is struggling to make a significant impact, according to a report by The Independent. The Trump campaign has been relying on super PACs and volunteers to drive turnout efforts, which has raised concerns among Republican organizers in battleground states.
As Kamala Harris maintains a lead in national polls and battleground states, GOP operatives have expressed worries that the Trump campaign’s tactics are falling short. They have highlighted a lack of organisation and follow-through in key toss-up states like Michigan and Nevada.
Despite claims by the Trump campaign of running the “most robust and modern ground game ever,” reports suggest that they are being outmatched in terms of funding, enthusiasm, and ground game by their opponents. The reliance on volunteers and super PACs comes after a ruling by the Federal Election Commission earlier this year allowing campaigns to coordinate with outside groups on turnout efforts.
With the Republican National Committee now under the influence of Trump allies, changes in strategy and staffing have been noted within the party. The Harris campaign also holds a significant fundraising advantage over Trump, further complicating the landscape for the upcoming election.
Overall, the ‘Trump Force 47’ volunteer army’s struggle to make a substantial impact on the election outcome has raised concerns within the GOP as the battle for electoral victory intensifies.
