FILE - President Joe Biden, left, greets people at a campaign event March 19, 2024, in Phoenix. As Biden campaigns for reelection at a furious pace, Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump is lying low. The differing approaches underscore the deficits both sides are facing.
Biden “looks like a lost puppy any time he ventures onto the campaign trail,” said Trump spokesperson Karoline Leavitt, who accused Biden’s campaign of limiting his events to "stops at field offices with a few paid staffers who look less enthused than attendees at a funeral.” His aides have packaged his campaign stops with official White House events designed to promote his policy agenda and legislative achievements.
Instead of his signature large rallies, aides say, Trump has been attending fundraising events five to six days a week. That includes lunches and dinners that bring in immediate cash as well as relationship-building meetings that could result in future checks. Federal campaign finance filings released last week showed Trump's political operation at a serious disadvantage and struggling to catch up to Biden and the Democratic Party, which raised $53 million last month and ended February with $155 million cash on hand.
That assertion came in one of a series of interviews he has done with friendly broadcasters since becoming his party's presumptive nominee, including a sit-down with right-wing British leader Nigel Farage.
