  • Structural differences between the Republican and Democratic operations may have played a role, too. The Harris campaign, flush with cash, relied on a traditional turnout program that stationed field staff members in campaign offices across the battleground map. To some degree, the data suggest that program worked; Ms. Harris won more voters than Mr. Biden in four of the six battleground states where the count is nearly complete. But that increase was swamped by Mr. Trump’s gains.

    The former president seized on new federal election rulings that, for the first time, let campaigns directly coordinate with outside groups focused on pushing voters to the polls. Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, poured $175 million into canvassers for America PAC, whose team effectively took its marching orders from the Trump campaign.

    This part jumped out at me. From where I sat Democrats didn’t take advantage of the new rules. My org didn’t know what other orgs were doing and they didn’t know what we were doing. The Democrats are absolutely the worse party when it comes to actually running campaigns. We should learn from them to see what NOT to do.
