(AP Photo/Andrew Harnik)NEW YORK – After months of avoiding direct contact with voters because of the pandemic, Joe Biden's campaign is about to launch door-to-door canvassing across several battleground states.
Biden’s campaign, which detailed the new effort to The Associated Press, insists that its existing phone and online voter outreach is effective.
“Our voter contact operation is the most innovative and technologically advanced of any presidential campaign in history, and it has been thriving in this unprecedented environment," Biden campaign manager Jenn O'Malley Dillon said.
They know they're being hopelessly outworked on the ground, and down-ballot Democrats in key states have been freaking out about it,” Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh said.
Biden volunteers in Pennsylvania and Nevada began dropping campaign literature at voters' homes just last weekend, although they were instructed to avoid any direct conversations.
