Wisconsin GOP Chair Brian Schimming appeared on Monday’s WarRoom and emphasized the crucial role of grassroots efforts in securing a win for Donald Trump in the 2024 election. With Wisconsin as a critical battleground state, Schimming outlined specific actions volunteers can take to make a significant impact, including poll watching, canvassing, and mobilizing non-voters.
Grassroots Energy is Driving Momentum
Brian Schimming made it clear: grassroots efforts are the backbone of the GOP’s strategy in Wisconsin. He noted that Donald Trump’s rallies in the state are drawing "thousands of people,” creating momentum at the local level. This energy is not only invigorating the party’s base but also attracting new participants. Schimming described the enthusiasm as a driving force behind the GOP’s success, saying, "We’re turning thousands of people away at Trump rallies.”
Election Integrity Efforts: Poll Workers and Watchers
A major part of Schimming’s strategy involves election integrity. He proudly stated that Wisconsin will have "the biggest election integrity effort in history by a factor of 20.” The plan includes almost 6,000 Republican poll workers and thousands of poll watchers to ensure a fair process. Schimming highlighted the importance of having attorneys involved as well, saying the GOP will have "hundreds of attorneys” to safeguard the election. He urged more people to volunteer, emphasizing that this effort can protect the integrity of the election and ensure every vote is counted properly.
The Importance of Early Voting
Schimming underscored Donald Trump’s shift toward encouraging Republicans to vote early. At a recent rally, Trump stressed the need for early voting, and Schimming echoed this sentiment. "Voting early saves resources,” Schimming explained. The earlier Republicans cast their ballots, the less the campaign needs to spend on persuasion efforts. By encouraging early voting, the GOP can allocate resources toward undecided or infrequent voters, maximizing their chances of success in the state.
Mobilizing Non-Voters: A Key to Victory
One of the most crucial elements of Schimming’s grassroots strategy is mobilizing non-voters. According to Schimming, there are "hundreds of thousands of people” in Wisconsin who align with conservative values but don’t vote. These individuals are hunters, members of churches, and participants in conservative school groups. Schimming believes that getting even a fraction of these non-voters to the polls could swing the election in Trump’s favor. "If we get them to vote, Donald Trump will win Wisconsin,” Schimming said confidently.
How You Can Help: Action Steps
Schimming made a direct call to action for volunteers across Wisconsin and the nation. He urged people to get involved in grassroots efforts by:
- Signing up to be a poll worker or poll watcher.
- Volunteering to knock on doors and canvass.
- Helping distribute leaflets and campaign materials.
- Supporting the GOP’s election integrity efforts by contributing time or resources.
- To get involved, Schimming directed potential volunteers to visit the Wisconsin GOP’s website and follow him on Twitter for daily updates.
Grassroots Efforts Could Swing Wisconsin
In a state where elections have historically been decided by fewer than 30,000 votes, grassroots mobilization could make all the difference. Schimming believes that with continued effort and volunteer engagement, Donald Trump can secure victory in Wisconsin. His message is clear: "We have 22 days to get this done.”
