Trump's 2024 Strategy: A Gamble with Amateur Help and Unproven Tech?

As Donald Trump aims for a second term in the White House, some Republican election experts are raising concerns about his campaign's strategy. The team is relying heavily on volunteers with unproven technology to get out the vote, which could be risky in such a close race. Historically, elections have been won by parties that successfully mobilize disengaged voters who have lost interest due to politics over the past eight years.According to CNN, Trump's campaign is trying to save money and reduce supervision for these efforts. Some insiders are skeptical of this approach, especially since it contrasts with how Trump won key areas in 2016. Back then, voter outreach was coordinated by the Republican Party from regional field offices. Now, the campaign claims a sophisticated political apparatus is at work, but some GOP strategists aren't convinced. Dennis Lennox, a seasoned Republican operative in Michigan, called this strategy "political malpractice" and described it as a desperate move. An Arizona GOP operative echoed these sentiments, noting that the campaign is spending too much time on loyal Trump supporters rather than trying to attract new voters in swing areas. They pointed out that similar strategies failed in 2020 and 2022.
