Super PAC campaign aims to mobilize swing-state voters
FILE – Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, attends a campaign rally, March 16, 2024, in Vandalia, Ohio. Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump says Ohio Sen. JD Vance will be his vice presidential pick. He says on his Truth Social Network that, “After lengthy deliberation and thought, and considering the tremendous talents of many others, I have decided that the person best suited to assume the position of Vice President of the United States is Senator J.D.
The group, which has come together quickly this month, is finishing an agreement to share data and coordinate voter mobilization with the Trump campaign, according to two people with knowledge of the effort who requested anonymity to discuss it. In the week before the memo was sent, the group said it had received donations and commitments for more than $5 million and was “actively raising the balance” toward its $45 million goal.
Those are the states that Buskirk’s group lists as its targets. Even more Democratic states such as Minnesota, New Hampshire and Virginia “could be added as polling and trends and resources justify,” according to the memo. It boasts that the group intends to use an innovative artificial intelligence “workforce optimization tool” that will “monitor all performance data systemwide in live time and distribute individualized improvement advice to each canvasser in the field via text, call and email.
Unlike many super PACs, the group emphasizes that it will focus only on field operations and will not become involved with paid media.The group is one of several new pro-Trump organizations seeking to take advantage of new advisory guidance from the Federal Election Commission that allows outside groups to coordinate field programs with campaigns without violating a ban on coordination that applies to advertising.
Buskirk has pitched Turnout for America to members of the Rockbridge Network, according to one of the people with knowledge of the plans.It was not immediately clear who had donated to Turnout for America, but it will be required to disclose its donors to the FEC in October.
