Following Trump’s shocking conviction in the New York hush money trial Donald Trump announced the launch of “Trump Force 47.“
According to the Trump campaign, the “program is recruiting and training tens of thousands of volunteers to engage in neighbor-to-neighbor relational organizing of targeted voters in battleground states.”
Trump released a statement:
In the wake of the rigged Biden Trial in New York, Team Trump and the Republican National Committee launched the Trump Force 47 grassroots organizing program to engage tens of thousands of new volunteers across the country to participate in a neighbor-to-neighbor organizing program hyper-focused on mobilizing highly-targeted voters in critical precincts across the battleground states and districts.
The program is a joint effort of the Trump Campaign and Republican National Committee. It will leverage the manpower of state and local Republican parties and other organized right of center groups in addition to its own focused efforts to recruit, train, and organize volunteers who are assigned to turn out specifically targeted voters in their own precinct.
The model builds on the Trump Campaign’s highly successful early-state primary strategy of organizing volunteers at the precinct level to focus on turning out a few specifically targeted voters each. Securing these votes are critical to ensuring President Trump and other Republicans win in November.
Last week, a Manhattan jury found Trump guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records as part of a hush-money scheme to prevent porn star Stormy Daniels from speaking out about her alleged extramarital affair before the 2016 presidential election.
Following the guilty verdict, the Trump campaign announced a new fundraising record totaling $34.8 million.
“From just minutes after the sham trial verdict was announced, our digital fundraising system was overwhelmed with support, and despite temporary delays online because of the amount of traffic, President Trump raised $34.8 million dollars from small dollar donors. Not only was the amount historic, but 29.7% of yesterday’s donor’s were brand new donors to the WinRed platform. President Trump and our campaign are immensely grateful from this outpouring of support from patriots across our country. President Trump is fighting to save our nation and November 5th is the day Americans will deliver the real verdict.” – Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles, Trump Campaign Senior Advisors
Trump is expected to appeal the verdict.
