The RNC's First Big Midterms Spend Is on Its Ground Game
The Republican Party is spending big on its ground game — the party’s first major investment in the run-up to the midterms.
The Republican National Committee sent 34 staffers to 17 states last week to run canvassing operations targeting voters who don’t frequently turn out for elections, a voting bloc that helped President Donald Trump win in 2024.
The initial spend is “seven figures,” an RNC official told NOTUS. The RNC did not provide its full list of target states, but it will be in battlegrounds including North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Georgia, as well as “places that we don’t traditionally play,” such as Alaska and Maine, the official said. The party is planning to send more staffers in mid-May.
“We’re not leaving turnout to chance — we’re building the ground game to win, protect our majorities in the House and Senate, and give President Trump a full four years to deliver,” RNC Chair Joe Gruters said in a statement.
