The Trump Victory committee is a joint operation between the Trump campaign and RNC. Some Trump Victory field staff will remain in Wisconsin, while others will be losing their temporary positions, this person added. Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien said last week that the operation would seek a recount in Wisconsin. After publication of this story, Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh said "No one is being moved until the recount or any litigation are complete." Yet, a representative for the RNC later told CNBC that they are, in fact, moving some field staff out of the state and into Georgia.

WASHINGTON The Republican National Committee and President Donald Trumps campaign say they have now hired 1,500 field staffers, aiming to convert their financial advantage over Democrats into votes in November. Trump Victory, the joint field effort of the two organizations, announced Monday the hiring of an additional 300 staffers set to hit 20 target states by Wednesday in the largest field operation over mounted by a Republican. Republicans are quick to note that their staffer count in the field is more than double that of Biden, whose goal was 600 field staffers by the end of June. Both the Trump and Biden field operations went virtual largely overnight in mid-March as the coronavirus pandemic hit. We have the biggest and best ground game operation ever seen, said Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh.

The coronavirus pandemic isn't going away anytime soon, but campaigns are still forging ahead with in-person organizing. In previous campaigns, we would always say organizing, door-knocking is the gold standard," she said. The gold standard, I think, is creating community.The Biden campaign has offered no timetable for when itll resume in-person campaigning. Aides say the campaign is consulting with its public health advisory board, consisting of doctors and health experts, on when its safe. But the differing decisions on whether to resume in-person campaigning have become fodder for political attacks from both parties.

"President Trump and the RNC have the strongest fundraising operation in presidential history and our unmatched data and digital operation make us uniquely equipped to sustain a digital fundraising operation. As it is, we are in an incredibly strong position," said Tim Murtaugh, a spokesman for the Trump campaign. "While we are temporarily suspending in-person fundraising events, we will still be able to gather support from Americans who fully support President Trump, his accomplishments, and his leadership." The move could have an impact on Trump's fundraising success, although they do have a strong digital fundraising operation already in place. Trump's big money events, often arranged by the joint fundraising committee, Trump Victory, usually ask for high six figure contributions for donors to gain access.

Democratic donors on Wall Street and in big business are preparing to sit out the presidential campaign fundraising cycle or even back President Donald Trump if Sen. Elizabeth Warren wins the party's nomination. During the campaign, Warren has put out multiple plans intended to curb the influence of Wall Street, including a wealth tax. Biden, who has courted and garnered the support of various wealthy donors, has started to lag in some polls. Biden was one of three contenders that saw an influx of contributions from those on Wall Street in the second quarter. CNBC's Jim Cramer said earlier this month that he's heard from Wall Street executives that they believe Warren has "got to be stopped."
