History

Historical Context

In 2008 Barack Obama’s campaign used a wave of grassroots rallies and a record-breaking online fundraiser that pulled in $55 million in February, helping him rebound after a loss in the New Hampshire primary. Republican strategists now cite that model as they stage Trump-aligned “47 Committee” rallies in Durant and Mobile, hoping to tap low-propensity voters and lift 2024 Senate fundraising.
