Unlike typical presidential campaigns, Trump is utilizing outside groups to\u2064 conduct voter registration and turnout efforts, similar to tactics previously employed \u200cby Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, but with \u2064mixed success. The Trump campaign has faced criticism for a lack of grassroots organization compared to Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217;s campaign, which is actively building a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-what-happened-bartiromo-pushes-desantis-to-answer-humiliating-questions-about-campaign\/\" title=\"Watch: Bartiromo Grills DeSantis on Campaign&#039;s Embarrassing Questions\">robust ground game<\/a> and has shown significant fundraising \u2063advantages.<\/p>\n<p>With around\u2064 80 days until Election Day,\u2062 Trump is lagging\u2064 in\u2062 campaign resources and infrastructure,\u2063 yet he is depending on \u200cgrassroots organizations, such as Turning Point USA, to mobilize volunteers \u2063in key battleground states like Arizona, Wisconsin, and\u200c Michigan. Despite \u2063the criticism, Trump\u2019s strategy appears focused on\u2064 Election Day mobilization rather than extensive \u2062pre-election efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the article\u200d highlights how both Democrats and Republicans are using\u2063 Google&#8217;s advertising tools to manipulate headlines in campaign ads to influence voter perception, a\u2064 practice that has drawn\u200d scrutiny and concern from news organizations. Despite the debates over transparency, \u2063campaigns across the\u2063 political spectrum continue to employ this technique to boost their visibility.<\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s\u2062 strategy reflects a\u2062 shift in traditional campaigning amidst\u2064 a rapidly changing landscape, as he seeks to maintain his lead against a competitive Democratic campaign \u200cled by Harris.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Wake up with the Washington Examiner: Trump&rsquo;s unique approach to swing states and &lsquo;news&rsquo; candidates can use<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1731690\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ground game farm hands<\/h2>\n<p>Former President <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Donald Trump<\/a> <\/strong>isn&rsquo;t running a typical presidential <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/2024-elections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>campaign<\/a>. It&rsquo;s not just that he is a once-beaten former president who fought off a new tide of rising <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/republicans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Republicans<\/a> who tried to replace him. Or that he&rsquo;s tapping into social media as a way to connect directly with supporters rather than working through traditional media &mdash;&nbsp;he did that to great effect in 2016.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>What Trump is doing that is raising eyebrows is following in the footsteps of one of his greatest frenemies, Gov. <strong>Ron DeSantis <\/strong>(R-FL), by using outside groups and activists to run get-out-the-vote and voter registration efforts in crucial states. That plan didn&rsquo;t work out for DeSantis, and with roughly 80 days until Election Day and a surging Vice President <strong>Kamala Harris <\/strong>erasing the gap Trump held over President <strong>Joe Biden, <\/strong>it could scare campaigns off from trying it again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A sluggish ground game is one of the biggest criticisms that have been laid against Trump&rsquo;s political operation, National Political Correspondent <strong>Mabinty Quarshie <\/strong>wrote for us this morning. The Trump campaign is severely lagging behind Harris in terms of how many offices they have in pivotal states and how many door-knockers they are employing. But just because the campaign isn&rsquo;t paying or recruiting people doesn&rsquo;t mean there isn&rsquo;t anyone there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Turning Point Action has hired hundreds of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republicans-say-arizonas-2020-disaster-is-a-lesson-learned-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Republicans say Arizona&#039;s 2020 disaster is a lesson learned- Washington Examiner\">full-time ballot chasers<\/a> in Arizona, Wisconsin, and Michigan, which will be working alongside an army of thousands of volunteers who have joined our Gen Z, Hispanic, Women, Farmers, and Faith Coalitions,&rdquo; Turning Point USA founder <strong>Charlie Kirk<\/strong> told Mabinty.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8203;&#8203;&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve also launched our Commit 100 program recruiting volunteers to move to Arizona and Wisconsin to chase 100 early ballots and 100 Election Day ballots,&rdquo; Kirk continued. &ldquo;If they come, we&rsquo;ll provide accommodations. We&rsquo;ll continue to examine territories in the key battleground states where it makes sense for us to staff up and expand. We are grateful to be able to harmonize with the campaign and the RNC on canvassing and GOTV efforts like Chase the Vote.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s not clear exactly why Trump is leaning on outside groups rather than putting his lieutenants in charge of the volunteers and employees tasked with making sure his biggest, and smallest, supporters turn up on Election Day. Though it may be a shift in focus from preelection support whipping to Election Day poll watching that is driving Trump&rsquo;s focus.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>However, a change might have to happen soon as the Harris campaign boasts it has cash and volunteers flocking to swing states to help.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Harris is bolstering an already impressive Democratic GOTV infrastructure Biden had the freedom to set up months in advance. Without a serious primary challenger, the campaign could be confident of its position &mdash; a slight miscalculation in terms of who the candidate would be but one that Harris is benefiting from.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Trump always <em>appeared <\/em>to be the front-runner for the GOP, but a serious primary campaign sucked up months of opportunity for him to clear the field and establish himself as the de-facto candidate. Walking out of the gates rather than sprinting put Trump in a hole he has mostly climbed out of, though he could still get pushed back into it.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Trump and the RNC have largely trailed Biden, then Harris, and the Democratic National Committee in fundraising due to a wide primary roster of Republicans who failed to wrestle the nomination from the former president.

But critics, including news outlets, say the scheme is deceptive to voters seeking more information about candidates or issues,&rdquo; he wrote.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>One news outlet is so frustrated with the practice it is considering legal action against Harris&rsquo;s campaign.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Harris&rsquo;s campaign used a story from WDAY Radio, a local news outlet in Fargo, North Dakota, in an ad to make it look like the outlet supported her move of picking Gov. <strong>Tim Walz <\/strong>(D-MN) as her running mate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Google, and at least one campaign, is defending the practice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8203;&#8203;&ldquo;These ads are explicitly labeled as &lsquo;Sponsored&rsquo; so that they&rsquo;re easily distinguishable from Search results, and they also include &lsquo;paid for by&rsquo; disclosures so it&rsquo;s clear to users who paid for them,&rdquo; a Google spokesperson told Ramsey. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s fairly common for advertisers across the political spectrum to link to external websites, including news sites, in the text of their ad.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>A campaign that was granted anonymity to speak about the practice defended it to Ramsey, arguing that candidates aren&rsquo;t changing the <em>substance <\/em>or straying from the facts of the stories they are altering.

&#8216;news&#8217; candidates can leverage it. Former President Donald Trump is not conducting a conventional presidential campaign. He is not only a former president who has faced challenges from emerging Republican contenders but also utilizes social media to engage directly with his supporters, a tactic he effectively employed in 2016. What stands out now is his adoption of strategies similar to those of one of his notable rivals, Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL), by collaborating with external groups and activists to enhance voter turnout and registration efforts in key states. This approach did not yield success for DeSantis, and with about 80 days remaining until Election Day, as Vice President Kamala Harris gains momentum against President Joe Biden, it may deter other campaigns from attempting the same strategy.<\/p>\n<p>Critics have pointed out that Trump&#8217;s ground game appears sluggish compared to Harris&#8217;s campaign efforts, as noted by National Political Correspondent Mabinty Quarshie this morning. The Trump campaign trails behind Harris in terms of office presence in critical states and the number of canvassers employed. However, despite the lack of paid staff or recruitment from the campaign itself, there are still active volunteers on the ground. Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, mentioned that they have hired numerous full-time ballot chasers across Arizona, Wisconsin, and Michigan who will work alongside thousands of volunteers from various coalitions.<\/p>\n<p>It remains unclear why Trump relies on outside organizations instead of assigning responsibilities to his own team for ensuring voter turnout among both major supporters and smaller backers on Election Day. This shift might be influenced by an emphasis on poll monitoring rather than pre-election support mobilization.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, changes may need to occur soon since Harris&#8217;s campaign boasts significant financial resources and volunteer support directed toward swing states\u2014an advantage stemming from an established Democratic get-out-the-vote infrastructure set up months earlier during Biden\u2019s candidacy without serious primary opposition.<\/p>\n<p>While Trump was initially seen as a frontrunner for the GOP nomination, prolonged primary battles consumed valuable time that could have solidified his position as the clear candidate. Although he has managed to recover some ground since then\u2014he still faces potential setbacks due to fundraising disparities compared to Biden\u2019s camp; July figures showed Harris raising over $310 million while GOP funds were around $139 million.<\/p>\n<p>In less than two weeks after Biden exited on July 21st alone; volunteers supporting Harris made millions of outreach attempts through calls and door-knocking initiatives aimed at voters within battleground regions.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally highlighted are tactics used by both Democrats and Republicans involving Google tools allowing candidates to modify news headlines within ads\u2014a method intended for enhancing their campaigns but criticized by news organizations for being misleading towards voters seeking accurate information about candidates or issues at stake.<\/p>\n<p>Some campaigns have reportedly manipulated headlines related to legitimate news stories either promoting themselves or undermining opponents while adhering strictly within Google&#8217;s advertising guidelines which label such content clearly as &#8220;Sponsored.&#8221; Despite pushback from certain media outlets considering legal action against these practices\u2014including one instance where an ad implied local support for Kamala Harris\u2014the defense rests upon transparency measures provided by Google regarding ad sponsorships along with claims that factual integrity remains intact throughout these alterations<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2702,"featured_media":2325585,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Trump_Donald_661_4.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[38332,32115,3634],"class_list":["post-2325584","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner","tag-news-strategy","tag-swing-states","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Trump_Donald_661_4.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2325584","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2702"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2325584"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2325584\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2325585"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2325584"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2325584"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2325584"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
