The Harris campaign is intensifying its outreach efforts in key battleground states, deploying a robust canvassing operation that appears to have outpaced former President Donald Trump's campaign in terms of ground resources. In Allouez, Wisconsin, a Democratic-leaning neighborhood in a county Trump won in 2020, resident Mark Losson described the Harris campaign's door-knocking efforts as relentless. Losson, who left the Republican fold and is leaning towards voting for Harris, noted the persistence of the canvassers who were intent on getting a response from his household.

The Harris campaign boasts 353 field offices and over 2,500 staff members across battleground states. This significant physical presence has been complemented by an impressive wave of volunteer activities. From October 14 to 21, volunteers reportedly completed over 124,000 shifts, knocking on 1.6 million doors and making 20 million phone calls. In contrast, the Trump campaign has been less forthcoming with details about their field office distribution but has prioritized Pennsylvania with about two dozen offices.

A novel element in Trump's re-election efforts is the "Trump Force 47" program, focusing on mobilizing low-propensity voters. This strategy leverages Trump's most loyal supporters, termed "Trump Force" captains, to activate these potential voters. Captains receive incentives as they meet engagement goals, such as t-shirts, expedited rally entry, and other campaign gear. The program was first utilized in Iowa, where Trump won the GOP caucuses in a decisive victory.

To shore up support among mid-propensity and high-propensity voters, the Trump campaign is collaborating with Elon Musk's super PAC and Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA. In Wisconsin, Elon Musk's America PAC joined forces with Turning Point Action, streamlining data and ground operations. Musk, having donated $75 million to his PAC, has also spearheaded voter registration events and even pledged daily giveaways of $1 million to voters from battleground states, a move that has raised legal concerns.

Meanwhile, the Harris campaign continues to leverage the infrastructure inherited from President Biden's 2020 campaign, utilizing state and county party resources. Additionally, Future Forward, a pro-Harris super PAC, has ensured that ad spending in battleground states remains in Harris' favor, with $328.3 million allocated from October 1 through Election Day compared to $215.9 million by Trump-friendly groups.

Key to the Harris campaign's strategy is a comprehensive voter contact approach, combining traditional door-knocking and phone banking with digital and social media outreach. The campaign has tapped into "relational organizing," urging supporters to persuade family, friends, and neighbors to vote for Harris. Kamala Harris herself has been active, addressing rallies at Black churches and holding town halls in critical states like Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, often accompanied by high-profile surrogates such as former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney.

In northeastern Wisconsin, Democratic-leaning voters express mixed feelings of confidence and anxiety about the upcoming election. Campaign volunteers like Sarah Stabelfeld note a greater hesitancy among people to share their political views compared to past campaigns. Despite the exhaustive efforts, apprehension persists among voters concerned about the prospect of another Trump presidency.

In Nevada, Harris' campaign benefits from the support of Culinary Union Local 226 canvassers, representing 60,000 voters in urban areas. Canvassers have reported varied levels of decisiveness among voters, with some still weighing their options on key issues like the economy and healthcare.

As the campaign progresses towards Election Day, Harris and her supporters are banking on their substantial ground game and strategic outreach to secure victory in the tightly contested battleground states.
