Pro-trump PAC funded by Elon struggles with outreach

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/pro-trump-group-funded-by-musk-struggles-with-outreach-targets-inflation-2024-10-18/

The political action committee funded by billionaire Elon Musk to help re-elect former U.S. President Donald Trump is struggling in some swing states to meet doorknocking goals and is investigating claims that some canvassers lied about the number of voters they have contacted, according to people involved in the group's efforts.

The difficulties, in pivotal battleground states including Wisconsin and Nevada, come as the group, America PAC, races to enlist voters behind the Republican candidate in the final two weeks before the Nov. 5 election. Four people involved in the group's outreach told Reuters that managers warned canvassers they are missing targets and needed to raise the number of would-be voters they contact.

Alysia McMillan, who canvassed for the PAC in Wisconsin, said field organizers recently told campaigners there they weren't reaching daily objectives and were on track to miss an ultimate goal of contacting 450,000 voters by Election Day. In one meeting with canvassers, recorded by McMillan and reviewed by Reuters, a manager warned of the shortfall.

One canvassing manager in Arizona said leaders there had issued similar warnings. Three other people familiar with the outreach told Reuters that Chris Young, a Musk aide and longtime Republican operative, had recently traveled to Nevada to audit whether doorknocking tallies there had been inflated by some of the workers hired by contractors. Another person briefed on the matter said America PAC was struggling to find sufficient people to conduct audits in other states.

Despite the influx of cash, some of America PAC's outreach has been plagued by disarray, the people familiar with its efforts told Reuters. As with many campaign operations, the group has hired contractors to carry out grass-roots efforts, relying on hourly workers to knock on doors and speak face-to-face with potential voters.

Some of those workers have been difficult to retain. Three canvassers, who asked not to be identified, told Reuters the work isn't worth the pay, starting at some contractors at as low as $20 per hour. In some cases, they added, canvassers drive long distances in remote areas and don't get reimbursed for gasoline.

In Nevada, it isn't clear whether Young's audit has concluded, reached any findings or prompted any change in America PAC's outreach. Text messages reviewed by Reuters show managers at one Nevada contractor, Lone Mountain Strategies, fretting because they had to fire canvassers who used smartphone apps to disguise their locations and lie about their doorknocking numbers.

"Our auditors keep catching people cheating," one of the messages read. "We've fired two people today and auditors are going around checking doors for flyers."



Elon missed a goal? Well I never.

No but for real: what are the chances that the project 2025 guys and other GOP power brokers are just trying to get Trump across the finish line in any condition, so he can be quickly replaced by Vance?

This whole thing really is starting to have a Weekend at Bernie’s vibe.

What a loser. Can't run a rally. Can't run a country. Time to go home, Gramps.



That event center is all unionized labor, so it was obviously corrupt Wayne County machine union sabotage. With advance notice to every outlet they were going to do it to spam the narrative. Feels very desperate. If Kamala was up big would they act so desperate? Must have some pretty bad internals in Michigan.


But but but I thought Trump was LOVED by workers! That he is the defender of the working man and woman. Are you changing the narrative? You mean people who labor for a living don't actually want a union buster who refuses to pay overtime or even his bills to be president? What a surprise!

+1 In lots of other threads we hear that it’s only the union leaders that endorse Harris but the actual members are 100% behind Trump. 🤔

Pretty funny that people actually believe these manipulated videos, even though it is so obviously fake. If he really talked like that, you would have seen it discussed everywhere. Instead, people have been circulating the real videos like crazy because of how funny he was.

To be accurate, he said a child. UAW has invited him to do a 12 hour shift. Safe to say, he won’t get any of those votes now.

He said a child could assemble cars. But who knows, maybe he thinks a monkey could as well. So basically he insulted and infantilized the men and women who power our manufacturing base.
