As Biden visits swing states, Trump is fundraising and playing golf

Source: AP

WASHINGTON (AP) — As President Joe Biden visited five cities in a multiday trip last week, former President Donald Trump was hardly seen in public, spending most of his time in South Florida.

Trump has held just a single public campaign event since he locked up the Republican presidential nomination on March 12: a rally in Ohio funded not by his campaign but by backers of a Senate candidate whom he had endorsed. The events page on his campaign website has had nothing listed.

Biden, meanwhile, has been barnstorming the country. After a trip to North Carolina on Tuesday, the Democratic president will have touched down in all of the 2024 swing states in the less than three weeks since his State of the Union address.

Trump’s campaign faces a serious money shortfall and mounting legal bills as he fights four criminal indictments. His focus in recent weeks has been on wooing potential donors as his campaign builds its infrastructure across battleground states to catch up to Democrats, who have a significant head start.

I want to see Biden in these 4 states every week. And expand those visits to smaller cities too. There are blue smaller cities in more rural areas. Traverse City, MI for instance went blue and Biden needs to visit it.Hold these 4 and Biden can't lose. Try to hold NV too. Fight hard in GA and AZ too, and maybe even try to flip NC.

Biden is the one who won big in 2020, he's the one with more margin for error.
