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...
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
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.
Michael Steele is commenting and was a former RNC head, so he probably has some kind of idea of the scale of this being impressive. Would have been better to have some sort of past numbers published for comparison though as you say.
They might be extra low for all we know! (Really, likely high, but 1.1x, 2x, 100x ? Or even 1x, but crazy that it's so fast? Crazy because it's all crazy cat ladies? Crazy because it's not? Are the numbers sideways? ∞
