We're still quite far removed from the 2024 election, but former president Donald Trump already has some ideas about what Republicans should be doing when the time comes:
Turn out voters early and give them an opportunity to vote early.
On June 8, the Republican National Committee launched its "Bank Your Vote" campaign.
The "Bank Your Vote" campaign encourages voters to "vote before Election Day, which includes efforts to increase absentee voting, early in-person voting, and 'ballot harvesting' — where absentee votes are collected en masse and deposited at election offices — in states where the practice is legal."
In case you were wondering what Trump thought of the strategy, you don't have to wait to find out.
He loves it.
"The RNC is leading the fight to help secure your vote in 2024. They’re fighting bad Democrat laws, putting folks on the ground to serve as poll workers and poll watchers, and engaging attorneys to monitor every step of the voting process. Go to bankyourvote.com and sign up and commit to voting early," Trump said in a video recently posted to Twitter.
"We must defeat the far Left at their own game or our country will never recover from this disastrous, crooked Biden Administration," Trump added.
Former President @realDonaldTrump wants YOU to Bank Your Vote! We all must do our part to defeat the Democrats!

The RNC appears to be just as excited about its own plan as America's leading Republican is.
"BankYourVote.com will encourage voters to pledge to ‘Bank’ their vote, which will activate digital reminders from the RNC on all applicable pre-Election Day voting options," the RNC said.
With all of the trouble that has popped up after elections in both 2020 and 2022, it's no surprise that Republicans are doing everything they can to eliminate the systemic advantages on which Democrats have previously capitalized.
Perhaps that's why Trump seems to have completely flipped from the position he once held.
Back in 2020, Trump bellowed on Twitter that America should "GET RID OF BALLOT HARVESTING, IT IS RAMPANT WITH FRAUD. THE USA MUST HAVE VOTER I.D. THE ONLY WAY TO GET AN HONEST COUNT".
