The mission of campaign field staffers is to turn out voters for their candidate and their party.
Pointing to the expansion, RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel spotlighted that the former vice president "faces a vast behemoth of an operation that no amount of last-minute investments parachuted in will be able to overcome.”
