ground games

Football rushing strategies

Ground games refers to political strategies focused on direct voter contact—door-to-door canvassing, phone banking, voter registration drives, and get-out-the-vote efforts.

The term contrasts with "air war" tactics like television advertising: Their ground game in swing states made the difference.

In American football, ground game means the running attack as opposed to passing: They controlled the clock with a strong ground game.
