The Republican National Committee and former President Trump's 2024 campaign are struggling financially compared to Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

Michael Whatley, RNC chair, promises that the Trump campaign and the GOP's national committee have the necessary resources to secure victory in November.

This week, Harris' campaign highlighted their impressive fundraising abilities following the first and possibly final debate between the vice president and Trump.

The recent surge in fundraising by Vice President Harris's campaign was indicated by the money she earned in the past two months.

A week after the Harris campaign announced they raised $361 million in August, the Trump campaign announced they raised $130 million.

In a Planet Chronicle Digital interview on Tuesday during the presidential debate in Philadelphia, Whatley stated that the Democrats always have a substantial amount of money.

He assured that they have the necessary resources to effectively communicate their message to voters and feel confident in their ability to successfully complete the campaign and achieve victory on November 5.

In the 2016 presidential election, although Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton outraised Donald Trump, she was unable to make a difference as Trump was able to use free media to push his message without spending much on TV ads.

"According to Williams, a seasoned veteran of GOP presidential campaigns, people have already formed their opinions about Donald Trump, and despite spending tens of millions of dollars on negative ads, his public perception remains largely unchanged. On the other hand, Kamala Harris is less well-known and has not been fully defined, providing the Trump campaign with an opportunity to shape her image."

The Harris campaign emphasizes that it is allocating a significant portion of its fundraising funds towards grassroots outreach and voter turnout initiatives, stating that it is "directing its resources towards reaching the voters who will determine the outcome of the election."

The campaign's large ground game operation, constructed during Biden's nomination, has over 312 offices and 2,000 staff in key battlegrounds, coordinated between the presidential campaign, DNC, and state Democratic parties.

The Democrats have a significant advantage in ground operations compared to the Trump campaign and the RNC, as they are relying on a few aligned outside groups to run turnout operations, while Trump is traditionally performing these operations himself.

The Democrats had a more effective get-out-the-vote operation, according to Whatley's criticism of the suggestion.

The RNC chair stated to Planet Chronicle Digital that they do not have a stronger ground game and expressed confidence in the ground game they are implementing through Trump Force 47.

The key battleground states have tight margins, so the ground game will be crucial in determining the election outcome.

"The ground game is crucial in this race, where every critical race is close, and you need resources and organization to identify persuadable voters and turn them out," he said. "Democrats will have a strong operation and will attempt to secure votes early in many states."
