Candidates ramp up voter turnout efforts as election nears

Presidential candidates are ramping up efforts to encourage voter turnout as the campaign nears its end. Strategies have shifted from persuasion to motivation, with candidates urging supporters to vote in various ways, including personal appeals and reminders of the importance of their votes. Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign is utilizing a large operation with about 2,000 staffers and 250 offices in key swing states. Their strategy focuses on winning urban areas, suburbs, and minimizing losses in rural regions, leveraging grassroots enthusiasm among diverse demographic groups. In contrast, Donald Trump's campaign relies on grassroots volunteers through a program called Trump Force 47. While they emphasize community engagement, some Republicans express concerns about potential gaps in reaching voters compared to the Democrats' more extensive organizational efforts.
