Students for Trump Launches ‘Get Out The Vote’ Campaign

Students for Trump hosted its official launch party on Friday in Las Vegas, Nevada for its new “Get Out The Vote” campaign. The organization says that students from over 1,500 college and high school campuses across the country were present at the event.

Turning Point USA told Breitbart News that since its sister 501(c)(4) organization Turning Point Action (TPAction) announced its acquisition of the Students for Trump (SFT) name and social media assets — along with co-chair Ryan Fournier — the organization has received over 2,500 chapter inquiries at Division I universities alone.

“TPAction and SFT look to take ground in places the Democrats aren’t expecting to defend, places they need to win frankly,” said Charlie Kirk in a statement to Breitbart News. “President Trump has an undeniable connection with young people that very few on the right have ever harnessed.”

“They love his authenticity, his fearlessness when dealing with the press, and they love that he understands conservative meme culture and social media,” added Kirk. “If age is just a number, then this president is the living embodiment of that idea. He has more energy than most college kids, and they see that and respect it.”

The organization says that its Get Out the Vote campaign will focus on battleground states like Michigan and North Carolina, and will deploy a field team to assist students with maintaining a physical presence on their campuses.
