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.
The differing approaches reflect the deficits each side is facing.
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.
For Biden, 81, the tempo is a message in and of itself as he aims to combat persistent voter concerns about his age. Whoever wins in November will be the oldest president to be inaugurated, though polls find that voters see the issue as more pressing for Biden. Trump is 77.
Both sides are projecting confidence and accusing the other of trying to hide its candidate’s problems.

biden can barnstorm all he wants...a dozen people everywhere he goes.
While Biden rally’s in a Mexican restaurant full of 15 people..............
This is great news for us! The more people see Biden the more they will want to vote for Trump!
Remember the only way besides ballot box stuff Biden won before was by hiding in his basement.
biden cannot generate the tech/net exposure either— all of those “hidden” supporters who do not exist, digitally or otherwise. Election fraud is what they are working on-with haughty arrogance.
You forgot to put D-AP by the authors’ names.
We need to get biden out there more to shed votes. He’s an unlikable assclown.
Biden was barnstorming?
I’m pretty sure they meant “brainfreezing.”
Trump probably sees more people on the golf course than joe does on his “tours”.
So, Joe is working for and talking to the people, while Trump only mingles with the rich. Got it! /s
In a just republic, the head of The Biden Crime Family should be touring the yard in a max prison or worse. TREASON.
“five cities in a multi day trip” is “barnstorming?” Really. Sounds more like a vacation. AP is huffing and puffing manfully away trying to make a dog look like a race horse. Ain’t gonna work.
Slow Joe won’t debate.
(AP)(Acolyte Parrots) — they just steno the white house talking points. It sure makes it easy to cover the news.
He will debate and come across as Alfred the master debater.
Biden has more $$$ than Donald Trump can hope to have. It’s not the few who attend his dopey appearances, it’s the millions who Wil decide based on TV ads and starting in August at the latest I expect to see more Biden ads than pharma ads.
Barnstorming?
They must be slipping.Or do they have something up their sleeve? Don't put anything past 'em.
AP’s Colvin & Miller think they are so clever with spin!
just pick a short period when Trump is not criss-crossing the country, campaigning in front of massive, sold-out audiences, dealing with multiple “kangaroo court” cases, etc., & compare him to a brief spell of Biden out and about....speaking to no-one.
same with the ageist story. the entire FakeMSM has gone with the age problem for Biden crap, when it has always been about his mental health or lack thereof.
bury the MSM.
Joe biden is not president.
The 2021 installation behind a fence that should be at the border holds no validity
