Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have been barnstorming the battleground states with private jets, sprawling ground games and war chests that need to be raided.
The election that is expected to cost more than any other in the United States' history is just days away, and Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have been blitzing the battleground states. Harris kicked off the week in Pennsylvania, while Trump started it in New York — the place that made him a billionaire and a felon but has never voted to make him president.
Pundits believe there are seven states up for grabs — Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Georgia, Nevada and Arizona. Multiple assassination attempts, a post-primary change of candidate, celebrity endorsements, a problematic comedian, the richest man in the world and a garbage truck — this presidential campaign has taken some turns.But in this final sprint, there are some notable differences in how the Democratic and Republican campaigns are storming to the finish line and how much they've got to spend while they do it.
When Biden stepped down and endorsed Harris as the Democratic nominee, her first rally was in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. On Wednesday night local time, while Trump was climbing into a rubbish truck in Green Bay in north Wisconsin, Harris was on the campus of the University of Wisconsin Madison in deep blue territory talking to students about the future.
"It's so fast, and it's really impressive. I think the difficult thing about it is, in terms of getting out the vote, we not only want to motivate the base, but also bring new people into the electorate."It's easy to say every vote counts, but what that means for campaign teams on the ground is figuring out where there is a possible gain to be made.
Wisconsin member of the Republican National Committee Terry Dittrich said the ground game was about "chasing" would-be voters, starting with knocking on their door. Long-time Republican voter Michael, who asked for his last name not to be used, was there to see Trump speak in Wisconsin on Wednesday. It was his first Trump rally.
The term refers to numerous tax-exempt groups that campaign and influence politics on behalf of members, or vested-interest.Michael from Two Rivers in Wisconsin, who didn't want to leave his last name, has been part of the Republican ground game for a Trump super PAC the first time in his life."It's an unusual strategy.
The students diligently swap in and out between classes as they volunteer to direct their peers towards the on-campus polling station. Mr Wendtland said it was about removing the barrier between students and the politics that impact their lives. "The problem is you don't know what is going to move those final few people in the remaining days before the election, and so you try to do everything you can possibly think of."The Democratic nominee made a stop in Las Vegas, Nevada on Thursday and while she was there, her campaign projected her face onto the Sphere, a recently-opened indoor stadium, with an exterior made entirely of LED screens.
