The Harris campaign said Sunday that more than 90,000 volunteers knocked on over 3 million doors across the seven battleground states during the election's final weekend.

Why it matters: The campaign sees hope in early vote turnout among key demographics — and feels confident that their aggressive ground game will pay dividends on Tuesday.

"There's definitely a lot of enthusiasm and momentum, but we're still the underdogs here ... and feel like we're going to keep doing every ounce of work here to make sure we're getting our vote out and we're persuading anyone that is open to hearing from us," an official said on a call with reporters.

Zoom in: The campaign touted early vote numbers showing high turnout among young and Black voters, coalitions they see as key to Harris' path to victory.

They also said that in the closing weeks of the race, "undecided voters are breaking" to them.

"There's no place in any battleground state that our organization isn't as fulsome as we believe it needs to be to be successful on Election Night," an official said.

Reality check: More than 75 million Americans have already voted in the 2024 race, including voters in the key swing states, according to early voting data from the University of Florida's Election Lab.

Both campaigns have highlighted early vote data to project confidence in the final stretch, even as polling continues to show the two candidates locked in a razor-thin race.
