A Profound Ground-Game Difference
If you look at the websites for the Harris campaign, the Democratic Party, the Trump Campaign and the Republican Party, you will immediately see a huge difference in the volunteer opportunities being offered.
The Trump/GOP sites display just a couple of events that can be attended and very few ways for an eager volunteer to get involved. In contrast, the Harris/Democratic Party sites offer numerous ways for an eager volunteer to get involved. Harris volunteers can instantly connect with local leadership and like-minded Harris supporters. And local leadership can instantly connect with them.
From day one, the Biden, now Harris campaign organization has been organizing a ground-game infrastructure. The Trump campaign offers little beyond the opportunity to donate money (as Harris does) and attend the occasional Trump rally at a particular location.
Long before Harris entered the race, the campaign had an infrastructure in place with local leaders on the ground. Now, with literally hundreds of thousands of new volunteers eagerly rising to support Harris, they will be able to organize and deploy volunteers to canvass neighborhoods, provide transportation to the polls, make phone calls, activate their social media networks, attend local meetings, participate in Zoom calls, receive online engagement training, host a local event or house meetings, and more.
The difference is like night and day. With Trump, volunteers can get involved by sending him money and idolizing him. With Harris, volunteers can get involved by by sending her money and getting effectively involved at the local level, in the ways listed above.
Harris recently said they are running a campaign of the people. She and the campaign leadership mean exactly that. For them, it's about the people rallying to make a difference in their neighborhoods. For Trump, it's about the people focusing on him. He and the Republican party have not even tried to organize the kind of ground game Harris now has.
