God political campaigns should not be allowed to be longer than 2 months. How is the incumbent supoosed to do their job when they spend 60 hours a week campaigning for 6 months? You elect someone in november, they dont start until january and then they start campaiging for re-election by the may at the end of their term?
The problem is, we don’t have laws limiting that or how much you spend like the United Kingdom has for example example that keep the campaigns shorter. Also, both parties are so used to this longer election cycle and the United States is so much bigger so it takes more time to go everywhere for both parties to campaign, including the primary process that takes forever and takes fundraising, that I don’t think that will ever happen. The United States is just a bigger country so we need more time to get everywhere for both candidates.
The campaigning for primaries even starts much earlier, like summer of the year before the election. Most incumbent presidents don't have to worry about that, so it will mostly be other people with other jobs funding themselves, but if it was say a vice president running after serving a 2 term president, then they would basically be campaigning while being vice president, getting a decent portion of the travel expenses paid for by the government, for up to a year and a half. They likely won't have to campaign nearly as much as they would in the final few months, but right before the primaries, they would be flying all around and campaigning just as much, and travelling potentially even more.
the thing is, how do you classify something as a political campaign? even if you make a law preventing early campaigns, who's to say that an electee running high profile charity and volunteering options prior to campaign time isn't out campaigning for themselves, just under a different name. a law limiting campaign length wouldn't help, because parties would just put on displays under different premises, with the same end goal.
For comparison, do videos on the logistics of campaigns in other countries. I know they're all far shorter and less expensive than American elections, in Japan there's even a law preventing people campaigning too early. I'd be fascinated to learn more about other countries elections from your channel.
In the uk our politicians can only campaign at certain times, and the pre election period is about 6 weeks There’s a spending limit on campaigns and the main feature of campaigns is candidates on their “battle bus” Our system is far from perfect, but compared to America I feel so grateful to see the winners and losers sharing jokes with each other, the losing rishi sunak made jokes about how GB Olympic athletes probably wouldn’t want advice on winning from someone who lost by so much Normally I would point out that both candidates in America have pretty much the same policy and benefit the same people, but this year Trump’s dangerous campaign makes him so much more dangerous, so even if you don’t like the democrats, please vote Harris to preserve western values and NATO
In France also there is a spending limit. The amount of money spent in the US and the collusion it implies is baffling. When a dinner brings 12MUSD to the campaign, how can anyone believes that the people at the dinner tables don't have a vote that's worth more than yours?
@@starchunkss No, but the 12+ months you put into a presidential election is a little daft though, right? You should take the money out of it too, cap spending like we do in the UK.
In France the campaign is time limited to 3 weeks. There's also a limit to how much they can spend. And candidates get reimbursed if they get at least 5% of votes.

A fascinating insight into your political system for an outsider. Makes our 'hit-and-run' general election here in the UK look like a small town event!
Yeah, elections ever since citizens United was turned over for our really huge and long campaigns, also doesn’t help that the primary process takes months because every state has primaries at a different date. In the UK, you already have the party leader, but we have to have primary to choose a leader in the US.
Air Force One is also extremely prominent in the US, while the prime minister is rarely seen in a plane in the UK, they just talk in the dispatch box or in front of 10 Downing Street.

Well, he did just spend a lot of time in Italy for the new season of JetLag, so he was probably thinking of Italian "cucina" instead, which does sound like "koo-CHEE-nah".
The original video title was significantly better; now, it sounds like this is par for the course in presidential campaigns, when the video repeatedly states that it very much isn't.
@@Bertinator-nm9ld Can't remember exactly now, but it was along the lines of "How Harris' Campaign Started Out Of The Blue." Like, calling to attention how a very publicly-visible campaign was brought up from nothing, which is exactly what this video is about.
I personally like the latter. The video has 2 subjects: "How Harris did" and "The inner workings of a campaign". The first subject seems to have been a gateway (interesting on itself, as a trivia) to present the second subject (inner workings). Also, he usually uploads how stuff works on Wendover and trivia on HAL.
I love that "starting a campaign from scratch 4 months before the election" is is an impressive achievement in the US, but would be considered a major head start most other democratic nations. Because the lack of restrictions on campaign lengths in the US is absurd.
Even if they campaign for less time i find it hard to believe they aren't planning their campaign before that.For example in the UK you think starmer's team wasn't running numbers and making strategies before the start of campaign season?
One of the most interesting aspects of Harris' ascendency is how they brought together the whole party's support so quickly (which was not a given) and wasn't addressed in the video.
Overnight, the mainstream media went from saying Kamala Harris wasn’t qualified for the presidency to singing her praises. Mainstream media (for both parties) are just parts of the political machine.
it absolutely was a given, she had absolutely no policies publicly available until TODAY. they support her because she has a D in front of her name, not because they actually support her. lemming voters.
Yeah, there were a couple days there where Harris was working the phones publicly to shore up support. And I would bet she was working them before.l Biden pulled out.
Wow, I just now realize that NOT all "campaign funds" are spent on advertising and some (a lot?) is spent on traveling and rallies and such. I always thought it was just for their marketing budget.
Having looked through PAC filings before, I think those funds often come from supporting PACs and not the campaign directly. Like ads being run by the Lincoln Project.
@@MatthewTheWanderer I don't know if it's most, but non-candidate ones have a limit on how much they can contribute directly to a candidate's campaign. Super PACs do not have a limit on how much they can spend on other expenses like ads.
Thank you for educating the public. By doing so you also get a small insight into how each campaign is actually managing their finances which I think is very relevant to the voter. It's also relevant when we find out that a campaign did not pay their bills (we know who that is).
I love all of Sam's content and have great respect for the research that goes into it, and the legal/technical elements are obviously highly important. But there's a degree to which I feel political campaigns can be overcomplicated sometimes. Ultimately it's about being more popular than the other candidate in exactly the right places.
As a presidential campaign junkie every four years, found this to be a fascinating, behind-the-scenes feature about campaigns never talked about in traditional media coverage. Thank you!

You can thank the Electoral College for that. :) If you don't live in a swing state, your vote is so worthless to the presidential race, that there's more value in paying to ask you for more money that can be spent elsewhere than there is in asking you to vote.

don't kid yourselves. marketing professionals will be studying the biden to harris transition for _centuries._ in terms of branding and iconography, the harris campaign was the quintessential perfect storm. they didn't have time to mess it up, and as a result, it's inspiring in its overwhelming simplicity. blunt without being brutal. inclusive without being descriptive. perfect as a stone in a pathway. completely new like it had always been there. really, if you understand project management at all, the entire biden harris transition was just beautiful. you really love to watch these kinds of plans execute. it's really something special when it works.
So you’re average American is supposed to be amazing by the swift actions of a socio engineered party 😂. I don’t think they really care how elitists get business done
@benjaminjones8782 I agree with you about Bush 43, who was notorious for his light work days - even so, the stress of the responsibility of his work as president generated the premature graying and aging that affect most presidents. Unlike Bush 43, Bush 41, Obama and Clinton were known for diving into the details of policy. Trump was notorious for refusing daily security briefings, and for lightening his workload by asserting that he doesn't need briefing or prep because he already knows everything. I know Kamala personality, and she is almost always overprepared. Don't think she'll be spending a lot of time golfing.
That first trip she made with Walz as her VP was at my home airport I work at in Wisconsin. They last minute got Walls to come to the rally as well as TJ Vance rolled up too to do a speech at Walard ground service equipment for aircraft
What I've really loved about this switch is Trump whining and crying about house they've spent million and MILLIONS of dollars on a campaign assuming Biden was the opposition. And now that money is wasted. And the response must be, "You are warned to attack the message not the candidate." I love that this has come back to bite them on the arse, it's beautiful! 😂
@@JGeMcL Yeah, but they've done nothing BUT attack the person. They haven't announced any policies outside of "revenge" 😂 So, enough of the pretending it's "both sides", eh? Because they are quite clearly _not_ equivalent in any way.
@@MostlyPennyCat Gotta get out of your bubble there. They have announced tons of policy and it gets talked about a lot. Discussions of revenge mostly comes from pundits.
@@DaStopher1 I wouldn't exactly call what they've announced policy. I have read it, a lot of it is infantile. And Trump himself clearly has no idea about policy, he just rambles. And yes, I have, to my detriment, listened to entire speeches rather than sound bites. He's an imbecile who's clearly just desperate to stay out of jail. Do not vote for him. Do not vote for his colleagues. Even if you're right wing, reject their culture war bullshit and demand real representation.

That's essentially what the trump campaign is doing. Tens of millions are unaccounted for in their spending and millions are being paid to companies controlled by the trump family for apparently no benefit to the campaign. Some think they're literally just lining their pockets. It's also possible he's using campaign funds for his legal bills which is legal to do, but obviously not what donors expected.

Big fan of the channel, thx for bringing this up! Indeed, this particular presidential event brought about incredible logistics changes.

The irony that the requirements to be a campaign staffer or VP candidate are significantly higher and more restrictive than necessary to become POTUS.
Amen to that. The requirements are.highet to even vote in some states.
Correction: Pennsylvania 19 electoral votes not 20 as shown on your map around the 12 mins mark.

@@ovencake523 It doesn't detract from the point of the video anyway.
@@FutureCommentary1 👍
There are a thousand comments on this video and at least 500 of them are people correcting one of like four minor factual errors.
That’s because everyone trying to provide correction assumes no one else has already provided the correction, and they want to be the first.
Cocina not cochinah
737 not 757
Senator not Represenative
PA has 19 electoral votes now
Regardless of your political leaning this is interesting af
I love all of Sam's content and have great respect for the research that goes into it, and the legal/technical elements are obviously highly important. But there's a degree to which I feel political campaigns can be overcomplicated sometimes. Ultimately it's about being more popular than the other candidate in exactly the right places.
As a presidential campaign junkie every four years, found this to be a fascinating, behind-the-scenes feature about campaigns never talked about in traditional media coverage. Thank you!
15:09 Raleigh is pronounced Raw-Lee not rally. Been a while since I’ve heard someone say it this way
It depends where you're from, just like people say Missouri differently depending on if they're transplants or from here. Or Minnesota. There are countless examples.

Getting a Harris campaign ad while watching a video about the Harris campaign.

You referred to Mark Kelly as "representative from Arizona". He is a US senator.

Cant wait to get nonstop "Donate $5 now" ads for Harris for watching this video
lol so true...
You can thank the Electoral College for that. :)
If you don't live in a swing state, your vote is so worthless to the presidential race, that there's more value in paying to ask you for more money that can be spent elsewhere than there is in asking you to vote.
Edit: That said, still make sure you're registered to vote. It's your duty, not just something to do if you feel inspired.

Does anyone else get excited or feel extremely proud when he mentions your state or an area close to you or is it just me?
Love the video!

This is very cool for me! I love all of your videos, but this is the first one that really touches on the world I work in. And you did a really great job! There’s always the worry that someone covering your field will do a bad job, but that could not be further from how this one landed. Thank you for choosing this topic!

Wendover it's been years and I've loved to see the channel grow and the friendships you've made with other content creators. I'm not subscribed to brilliant. Here's what I want to see on brilliant. I would like a video that details your research process. As a non artsy type I don't really care about how you edit and create the video itself but the weeks to months they're going to researching the video I would love to see how you and potentially your team accomplish this. Put it on brilliant. I'll subscribe.
I would also love to see a video on the history of your friendship with real life lore and how you guys decided to split the market.
2:13 despite they differences, they had some differences
Whoa, really? ;P
That line was gold
Cocina is pronounced co-see-nah. It means kitchen. What you said, Cochina, means disgusting and/or swine.
I love how angry this video made conservatives. Anything mentioning a democrat sends them seething
What conservatives? I don't see any (angry) comments from conservatives. The only comments that I see are either democrats or unclear on where they lean.
Love the videos, man. Keep it up!!!
Amazing video! It's damn hard to see/read analysis of any aspect of politics in the same way as business. This one is gold.
don't kid yourselves. marketing professionals will be studying the biden to harris transition for _centuries._ in terms of branding and iconography, the harris campaign was the quintessential perfect storm. they didn't have time to mess it up, and as a result, it's inspiring in its overwhelming simplicity. blunt without being brutal. inclusive without being descriptive. perfect as a stone in a pathway. completely new like it had always been there.
really, if you understand project management at all, the entire biden harris transition was just beautiful. you really love to watch these kinds of plans execute. it's really something special when it works.
So you’re average American is supposed to be amazing by the swift actions of a socio engineered party 😂. I don’t think they really care how elitists get business done
"Despite their differences, Harris and Biden had some fundamental differences"
14:54 That's a 737 Sam
Must be crazy being a staffer during these months.
What a great topic! Love the research and passion you bring ❤
last time i was this early, Washington was running for president
@@mbathroom1 and the last time the Democrats were this upset was when their slaves were freed by the Republicans
@@coffeedad31 lol
@@coffeedad31 Yes, but we all know those Democrats would identify as Republicans today.
@@coffeedad31 Last time I was this early, it was before the party switch, when republicans were still the good ones.
Respectfully sir, I don’t think either party qualifies as the good ones anymore
How the hell are they supposed to do their job, if they're so busy campaigning?
Presidents don’t actually have much responsibilities and Vice Presidents even less.
She's VP, VP is basically back up to the president, they don't have as much responsibility as the president.
@@benjaminjones8782 ummm... no.
@@RockandRollWoman George W. Bush took on average 128 vacation days per year during his time in office.
I’m right.
@benjaminjones8782 I agree with you about Bush 43, who was notorious for his light work days - even so, the stress of the responsibility of his work as president generated the premature graying and aging that affect most presidents.
Unlike Bush 43, Bush 41, Obama and Clinton were known for diving into the details of policy.
Trump was notorious for refusing daily security briefings, and for lightening his workload by asserting that he doesn't need briefing or prep because he already knows everything.
I know Kamala personality, and she is almost always overprepared. Don't think she'll be spending a lot of time golfing.
19:14 conveniently cuts out Biden falling down the stairs 😂
Top notch editing staff was busy for sure, since all biden has done for 4 years was tumble, stumble and bumble and mumble.
This seems to be an advert for Harris.
That first trip she made with Walz as her VP was at my home airport I work at in Wisconsin. They last minute got Walls to come to the rally as well as TJ Vance rolled up too to do a speech at Walard ground service equipment for aircraft
What I've really loved about this switch is Trump whining and crying about house they've spent million and MILLIONS of dollars on a campaign assuming Biden was the opposition. And now that money is wasted.
And the response must be, "You are warned to attack the message not the candidate."
I love that this has come back to bite them on the arse, it's beautiful! 😂
Probably should check how often the Democrats bring up Trump rather than the message. It's on both sides.
@@JGeMcL
Yeah, but they've done nothing BUT attack the person.
They haven't announced any policies outside of "revenge" 😂
So, enough of the pretending it's "both sides", eh? Because they are quite clearly _not_ equivalent in any way.
@@MostlyPennyCat Gotta get out of your bubble there. They have announced tons of policy and it gets talked about a lot. Discussions of revenge mostly comes from pundits.
@@DaStopher1
I wouldn't exactly call what they've announced policy. I have read it, a lot of it is infantile. And Trump himself clearly has no idea about policy, he just rambles. And yes, I have, to my detriment, listened to entire speeches rather than sound bites.
He's an imbecile who's clearly just desperate to stay out of jail.
Do not vote for him.
Do not vote for his colleagues.
Even if you're right wing, reject their culture war bullshit and demand real representation.
@JGeMcL What? Trump IS the Republican candidate, of course they would bring up Trump, are you alright in the head???
I don't want to criticize but this video definitely needed another read through by an editor, its got a lot of small issues that should have been noticed.
Can’t wait for this comment section to turn into a trump vs Harris s**t show
At least Trump was legitimately nominated after a vote.

Only half
I’d just collect the $500M, spend $15K to drive around in a van for a week and post some adverts on facebook … and retire with the rest.
I'm not sure it's legal to keep the money for yourself
@@Fr00steeto keep the money you have to funnel it through businesses you own as campaign expenditures. basically money laundering.
@@Fr00stee… then give $100M to the winner for a presidential pardon 😊
That's essentially what the trump campaign is doing. Tens of millions are unaccounted for in their spending and millions are being paid to companies controlled by the trump family for apparently no benefit to the campaign. Some think they're literally just lining their pockets. It's also possible he's using campaign funds for his legal bills which is legal to do, but obviously not what donors expected.
And then paint yourself orange and get a shitty wig?
In 2:14 you said "despite their differences, Harris and Biden had some fundamental differences" 😂. The subtitles are correct though
Is this what real journalism feels like?
