The Trump campaign is mobilizing an "army" of supporters with step-by-step guides to register voters and to get out the vote in person or online.
"We all know that the Democrats and liberal media will pour billions in their effort to defeat President Trump," Trump campaign spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany said in a video calling for volunteers to "enlist" as a "bundler" for the campaign. "Once you're a part of the Trump Victory Finance Committee, you'll be able to involve friends, family, and colleagues in the campaign," tracking your total raised and building status among the network of volunteer fundraisers, she said.
Launched on Monday, the new Army for Trump website looks like a road map for "Team Trump" to reach the 2 million trained volunteers that campaign manager Brad Parscale said it would have by November. "It's time to get out there and start knocking on doors, making phone calls," Parscale said recently at the Conservative Political Action Conference. "It's time to become digital activists and fight."
In 2016, Parscale said, the campaign had close to 16,000 trained volunteers. "We will have 2 million trained volunteers for 2020," he said. "We are already past 500,000, and we don't have anyone to run against yet."
