A political network largely funded by billionaire Charles Koch is reactivating its ground game in support of five GOP Senate candidates, even as the coronavirus continues to spread.
AFP Action is backing a wide array of contenders, including five Republican Sens. David Perdue, R-Ga., Steve Daines, R-Mont., Cory Gardner, R-Colo, Thom Tillis, R-N.C., and John Cornyn, R-Texas.
So far in the 2020 election cycle, AFP Action has spent nearly $4 million backing the five GOP lawmakers, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics.Tim Phillips, American for Prosperity's president, told CNBC in an interview that starting in late May he traveled to some of these states to see if the team could return to conducting in-person engagement with voters.
Once they determined voters were willing to engage with them again, AFP went back to work in late June and has since started framing the election on who is best to help bring back a sense of normalcy in the wake of the pandemic. Through his own recent door knocking experience, Phillips says swing state voters don't appear to be settled on one candidate over the other and he defined the race as "fluid," particularly as people struggle to overcome health and financial struggles due to Covid-19. He also senses that more people are paying attention to politics than he's ever seen in his over three decades of experience, which could lead to a record turnout.
