campaign exploratory committees  

Définition

  • AN EXPLORATORY COMMITTEE is a body formed by potential candidates for president (or another office, though they are de rigueur for presidential candidates) to ascertain their chances in the upcoming election, and identify their likeliest supporters and those who could be swayed to their camp. Though Andrew Jackson launched his 1828 presidential campaign in the immediate aftermath of the 1824 election, it is generally considered unseemly for a candidate to begin a campaign too soon; even a recurring candidate such as Jackson usually explores his options, getting a feel for the political climate not only to determine if he will have a good chance in the upcoming election, but to decide which aspects of his platform will most appeal to voters.
