Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential election campaign has launched a major push to recruit and deploy volunteers in the six battleground states.
Capitalizing on the momentum generated by Ms. Harris’s entry into the race, the campaign raised more than $200 million over the first week and recruited some 360,000 additional volunteers, according to Battleground States Director Dan Kanninen.
“The groundswell of support around the vice president is real, and it is visible, and it is meaningful,” Mr. Kanninen told reporters on July 29. “Our task now is to translate that into action.”
The effort kicked off on the weekend of July 27, less than a week after Ms. Harris entered the race. Over that weekend, the campaign fielded more than 29,000 volunteers who knocked on some 126,000 doors, hosted 2,300 events, and made nearly 770,000 phone calls, Mr. Kanninen said.
