Murphy’s job, setting up the campaign’s widely maligned field operations, reaches a crucial point in the waning days of the campaign, with many major states no longer registering voters. Trump’s infrastructure has been seen as far outpaced by that of Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, and the campaign expected to rely largely on the Republican National Committee to lead efforts like voter registration, canvassing and phone banking.Murphy’s job, setting up the campaign’s widely maligned field operations, reaches a crucial point in the waning days of the campaign, with many major states no longer registering voters.
