Did he do that in 2022?


No.

If not, why?


Money. Ballot harvesting funding needs to come from the RNC or NSRC. Democrat candidates do not fund ballot harvesting initiatives. The DNC and Democrat superPACs fund those initiatives. Marc Elias was the architect of ballot harvesting for the Dems. The GOP does not have the equivalent of a Marc Elias.

I don’t understand why Trump is held to a different standard than other candidates in terms of money. Only Trump is required to spend his campaign funds on other candidates but other candidates are exempt from the same expectation.

But this time around apparently Trump will make ballot harvesting a priority in key states.

But he wasn't a candidate in 2022, he raised billions in that election cycle, mostly from small donors who didn't have the means to donate to congressional candidates as well. He sucked up most of the fundraising oportunities and shared very little of the funds with the actual candidates.
