Shot/Chaser: Joe Biden is Playing Catch Up

SHOT:

“Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden will hire by June at least 600 field staffers dedicated to an “expanded map” of battleground states, his campaign manager said Friday, despite a continued financial gap with President Donald Trump’s reelection behemoth.”

Associated Press, 5/16/2020

CHASER:

“The RNC today will announce an eight-figure hiring wave — 300 more Trump Victory staff who’ll deploy to target states by June 1, bringing the field staff to 1,100+. “

Axios, 5/18/2020

Bottom Line: With the RNC announcing an additional 300 Trump Victory staff hires, our national field staff has ballooned to more than 1,100 strong nationwide, with a 1.2 million strong volunteer army, and a $350 million data operation to drive our ground game. Meanwhile, Joe Biden struggles to keep up on every front, from staff hires, to fundraising, to virtual campaigning.
