Trump and Clinton Campaigns in Florida Show Stark Differences
The goal for Trump volunteers on their calls is to try to get Floridians to volunteer, too. Less than 60 miles away, in Ybor City, Clinton’s campaign office is buzzing with two dozen volunteers. The Clinton volunteers working the phones focus first on asking Floridians to vote early by requesting mail-in ballots.

“It is a big priority of our campaign,” said Simone Ward, the Clinton campaign state director in Florida. “We are already voting here in Florida. It is not just about November 8th, it is about everything in between.”
Other Clinton campaign volunteers fan out and knock on doors. And while Trump has one office in Florida, Clinton has 34. Both campaigns plan to expand, though — Clinton expects to have 50 offices open by the end of the week, while the Trump campaign says 25 offices will be open here by Labor Day.
