Reporters are touting organization efforts, but these numbers are the result of an engaged (not enraged) and inspired base. People want someone who unites and inspires, not divides and demeans
Anti-adblocker paywall, does anyone have a copy-paste? Or a TLDR?
Its sort is not a great article. They give raw numbers of things like volunteers and phone calls made, but without comparing them to anything. So you're mainly left with the title/pull quote that these numbers are crazy without an analysis of why.
I have no idea if these numbers are record setting, or how they compare to Obama's numbers after reading the article.
Caveat: I'm just using reader mode and sometimes not all of the article shows up due to paywalls, but it reads like that's the whole thing apart from a video link.

At the start of Saturday morning's edition of "The Weekend" on MSNBC, co-host Symone Sanders-Townsend broke the news about voter outreach efforts by Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign in the key battleground states needed to beat Donald Trump.
The numbers she quoted stunned co-host Michael Steele.
As Sanders-Townsend reported, "We begin with breaking news, from the Harris campaign moments ago. the campaign released a first look at its battleground state operation as it has kicked into high gear, since the vice president joint race."
"In the last 12 days alone, volunteers have placed 2.3 million phone calls, knocked on 172,000 doors and sent nearly 2.9 million text messages to voters in the seven battleground. This grassroots support comes as vice president Harris secured enough delegates to win her party's nomination," she added.
After introducing Dan Kanninen from the Harris campaign, co-host and former RNC chair Steele exclaimed, "Hey, those numbers are crazy."
"You guys," he continued. "Just the sheer level of organization is incredibly strong. You are looking at, for example, in blue wall states alone over a 100,000 voters have signed up to attend events. In sunbelt states like Georgia, North Carolina, you got thousands — tens of thousands of supporters signing up in the last 12 days. 63,000 sign-ups in Georgia, nearly 40,000 in North Carolina."
Lemmy.World policy prevents posting the entire contents of an article. It's a copyright thing, not a /c/politics thing.
Summarization is fine, archive links are fine (I looked, if there was one, I would have pasted it.)
But copy/pasta of the entire article is not allowed.
