'Political malpractice': GOP insider labels Trump's get out the vote efforts 'a Hail Mary'

The campaign of Donald Trump for a second term in the White House is getting low marks from some GOP election specialists for outsourcing get-out-the-vote efforts to amateurs armed with unproven technology in a race that is too close to call.

More than any other election that has preceded it, the 2024 presidential race could end up being won by the party that is most successful at getting out complacent voters who have been put off by politics over the past 8 years following Trump's foray into politics.

According to a report from CNN, the brain trust running the former president's campaign is attempting to cut corners and costs by using more volunteers with less supervision than in previous years and that has some GOP insiders rolling their eyes.

As CNN's Steve Contorno and Fredreka Schouten are reporting the change in election strategy in Michigan, "marks a stark contrast to how Trump won the Grand Rapids metro area and other battlegrounds eight years ago, when voter outreach efforts were coordinated by the Republican Party and organized out of regional field offices. And it’s one that has attracted plenty of detractors among GOP strategists, who say they see little evidence of the sophisticated political apparatus the Trump campaign claims is in motion."

Dennis Lennox, a veteran Republican operative in Michigan, didn't mince words when talking to CNN, bluntly stating, "It’s political malpractice.

"It’s a Hail Mary," Lennox added.

A GOP operative in Arizona agreed and complained the campaign is spending too much time contacting diehard Trump loyalists and not enough time attempting to woo new voters in "swing areas."

“It didn’t work in 2020. It didn’t work in 2022,” he explained. “Why do we think it will suddenly work in 2024? The challenge in trying to run up the score in the margins is that there’s not a lot of juice left in that orange."
