Political groups large and small have turned to digital campaigning amid the social distancing restrictions affecting almost all Americans, using texts, social media and video chat to carve out a new form of organizing as the U.S. presidential election looms. “We are hosting virtual events, training members of the Trump Neighborhood Teams online, activating the massive volunteer network to make calls on behalf of the President, and continuing our efforts to register voters online,” Farnaso said in an email.
“We’re not knocking on doors, but we have our virtual clipboards in hand, and we are engaging voters where they consume their news, talking about what we’re fighting for,” Perez told reporters. “When it’s safe to organize door knocks and hold events, I think people will be really excited to go back to doing that ... now they’ll know there are these options digitally that can be just as impactful,” he said.
