The Trump-Led RNC Will Double Staff in Battleground States

With Donald Trump clinching the GOP Nomination today, the RNC belongs to Trump and it is clear now you are either with Trump or against him. Most of the party has united against Trump and whatever his internal feelings, Reince Priebus deserves some credit for falling in line.

One of the first orders of business for the Trump-led GOP will be to increase firepower in the states that matter the most.

Jonathan Easley Reports 

Committee (RNC) will double its staff in battleground states in the coming weeks in an effort to deliver the White House to Donald Trump and protect a slim majority in the Senate. According to a memo from RNC political director Chris Carr, viewed first by The Hill, the organization will send additional 250 staffers to the 11 states likely to play the biggest role in determining the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. The new hires will more than double the RNC’s presence in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin. President Obama won all of those states except for North Carolina in 2012. In addition to the race for the White House, there are competitive Senate races in eight of those 11 states. The RNC is increasing its battleground state presence from 216 paid staffers to 466. It also claims nearly 3,600 trained organizers in those states.
