3 Trump campaigners knock on my front door. I had zero Harris campaigners knock on my front door. I am in a Red State, but none the less, he did have a ground game. And appearing on Joe Rogan's show and Harris skipping it was a major coup.

I do think the ground game matters a lot less than past years and the media/online game matters more now. How people consume information has changed and there's no going back.
