One day out, Clinton focuses on ground game, Trump on enthusiasm
WASHINGTON _ Hillary Clinton's campaign touted its ground game one day before the U.S. presidential election while Donald Trump's portrayed him as the candidate of change championed by enthusiastic voters.
The return to the campaigns' core strengths and longtime arguments came as polling continued to favor Clinton slightly, and as the candidates squeezed in final visits to battleground states.
"We're really focused on turning out our supporters," Clinton's campaign manager, Robby Mook, said Monday on NBC as the campaign announced it had made 8.1 million phone calls and knocked on 6.2 million doors over the weekend. "We're seeing historic turnout."
Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway on MSNBC cited supporters in Minnesota who walked miles to a Trump event there Sunday as an illustration of the voters who would help solidify the upper Midwest for the Republican nominee.
"We obviously have had Team Clinton on the run in terms of where they're going to schedule and deploy their super surrogates in the final days," Conway said, adding that Trump would win Michigan despite the Clinton deployments.
