Challenges with Outsourced Ground Game

The Trump campaign's reliance on third-party super PACs, including one led by Elon Musk, presents significant challenges in mobilizing voters. Reports indicate that this PAC is struggling to meet door-knocking goals, with some canvassers allegedly inflating their claimed outreach numbers. The necessity for a robust ground game is highlighted, as the success of Trump's campaign may depend on effectively engaging hard-to-reach voters, whose turnout is unpredictable. However, some analysts believe that Trump's passionate base might sufficiently drive turnout without a sophisticated outreach effort, reminiscent of past election cycles.
