Dem super PAC-funded canvassing effort hit more than 36 million doors
Future Forward, one of the top Democratic super PACs in the country, is known for using its beefy wallet to help candidates blanket the airwaves. But this year, it also dumped tens of millions of dollars into a canvassing effort, expanding the work it's typically known for.
Since the summer, Future Forward has invested $40 million in America Votes for voter registration and comprehensive voter contact programs. The funding has helped America Votes knock on over 36 million doors so far in seven swing states.
The group, which revealed the funding first to ABC News, said it is the largest field program ever funded by a super PAC.
"Winning a race this close requires a full-court press and person-to-person conversations are one of the most effective ways to break through the noise. In the field is where the America Votes coalition excels, and Future Forward has stepped up in levels not seen from past presidential organizations with significant funding to fuel our largest ever voter engagement and mobilization campaign," America Votes President Greg Speed said.
The effort compounds Democrats' canvassing advantage fueled by what the party casts as a superior ground game by Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign compared to former President Donald Trump's, which has been largely farmed out supportive super PACs, including one led by billionaire Elon Musk.
