Campaigning

When you click on a state, you will be taken to the campaign screen. This screen is where you will spend most of your time in the game, as it allows you to customize your campaign strategy and interact with voters. At the top of the screen, you will see the state's name and the number of electoral votes it has.

Below that, you will see a list of actions that you can take to campaign in the state. These actions include giving speeches, holding rallies, running advertisements, and conducting polls. Each action has a cost and a potential reward. For example, giving a speech in a state can increase your support among voters but costs money to travel and prepare for the speech.

To select an action, simply click on it. You will then be presented with a menu that allows you to customize the action. For example, you can choose the location and audience for your speech or the target demographic for your advertisement. After you have customized the action, you will need to wait a certain amount of time for it to take effect. During this time, you can continue to campaign in other states or perform other actions.

As you campaign in states, you will gain support among voters. You can track your progress towards winning the nomination of your party on the campaign map screen. To win the nomination, you must secure enough delegates from primary elections and caucuses. These events are simulated in the game and occur periodically. To participate in them, you must invest resources in the states where they are held.

Fundraising

In addition to campaigning, you must also raise money to fund your campaign. This can be done by holding fundraisers, soliciting donations from supporters, or accepting donations from interest groups. However, accepting donations from interest groups can harm your reputation with voters and may have negative consequences in the game.

To hold a fundraiser, simply click on the fundraising action on the campaign screen. You will then be prompted to customize the event and invite guests. The more guests you invite, the more money you are likely to raise. However, holding a fundraiser also costs money, so you must balance the cost with the potential rewards.

Building a Team

Another important aspect of the game is building a team of advisors and volunteers. You can recruit people to your team by spending resources and selecting from a pool of candidates. Each team member has different strengths and weaknesses, and some are better suited for certain roles than others.

For example, you might want to recruit a media advisor to help you craft your message or a field organizer to help you get out the vote. Some team members also have unique abilities that can help you in the game, such as the ability to raise more money or sway more voters. Building a strong team can be crucial to winning the presidency.
