The term "campaign mode" refers to a period or state in which an individual, group, organization, or political party is actively engaged in promoting their cause, platform, or agenda through various forms of communication and outreach. This can include public speaking engagements, media appearances, advertising, fundraising events, and other efforts aimed at gaining support for a particular issue or candidate. In essence, it is the period leading up to an election when candidates are actively campaigning in order to win votes from the electorate.
