"SNIP...........
The Republican National Committee was poised to open and staff 40 satellite campaign offices across key battlegrounds when former President Donald Trump, now the presumptive GOP nominee, abruptly replaced RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel and her deputies with fresh leadership, The Dispatch reports.
Trumps new RNC team, led by Chairman Michael Whatley, Co-Chair (and Trumps daughter-in-law) Lara Trump, and senior campaign adviser Chris LaCivita, killed McDaniels 2024 blueprint. Roughly six weeks later, neither the committee nor the Trump campaign has much infrastructure or personnel in the swing states that will decide the November 5 election.
That means few if any regional and local campaign headquarters; little to no deployed field staff; and little to no traditional voter turnout activities, such as door-knocking, phone banking, or volunteer organizing. Even after the Trump-led RNCs reimagined field program eventually emerges, their strategy is to concentrate almost exclusively on the half-dozen states that will determine Trumps fate. Republicans elsewhere? Theyre on their own.
