Trump returns to X before his virtual interview with Elon Musk

The Democratic National Committee said today that it is making its first investment of the presidential cycle in its Democrats Abroad affiliate, underscoring the fact that even top party officials feel the 2024 election could be decided by exceptionally close margins.

The $600,000 spending, which was first shared with NBC News, is aimed at registering some of the millions of eligible voters living abroad and ensuring they comply with state-specific (and often complicated or cumbersome) rules on how and when to cast a mail-in ballot when living abroad. Half of the spending has already been allocated.

“We are thrilled to have received the DNC’s endorsement at this point in the cycle,” said Democrats Abroad Chair Martha McDevitt-Pugh. “Americans abroad are early voters and must request our ballots every year they wish to vote. Preparing to vote starts now.”

DNC Deputy Executive Director Roger Lau added that the 2024 race “will be won by margins and every vote counts.”

“Democrats are leaving nothing to chance, investing heavily in our party abroad to ensure that every American citizen has a voice in these elections,” Lau said. “We will win this election by engaging voters at home and abroad, and this investment demonstrates our commitment to leaving no stone unturned.”

The party is particularly interested in voters in key battleground states. The party estimates that there are 1.6 million Americans overseas, including many members of the military, who are eligible to vote in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
