After abandoning their ground game for much of 2020 because of the pandemic, Democrats across the country are back knocking on doors
The return to the doors for Democrats comes even with a surge of coronavirus cases, especially among unvaccinated Americans, due to the Delta variant. But Democrats say that there is a key difference between this and last summer: vaccines.
In California, where Gov. Gavin Newsom appears increasingly likely to defeat this week’s recall election, his campaign this summer mounted what it said was the largest in-person get-out-the-vote operation in state history, with more than 600 paid field staff. They are wearing masks while door-knocking and at campaign events.
McAuliffe also praised Biden on Thursday for mandating vaccines for federal employees — a significant part of the Northern Virginia electorate — and called for schools and businesses to do the same. Youngkin, who is himself vaccinated and calls for others to get it, has cast mandates as an overreach. He also frequently campaigns against school closures.
“We don't leave any voter behind,” said Guzman, who is also a co-chair of Todos con Terry, the campaign’s outreach effort for Latino voters. “We try to be sensitive, as well, of the languages that are spoken and how voters feel more comfortable about talking about the election.”
