Donald Trump has only been to one battleground state since Super Tuesday because he is unable to afford campaigning.
Joe Biden has visited almost every top battleground state since the Super Tuesday primaries, apart from one. He has also been on undisclosed calls pushing negotiators towards a Gaza ceasefire, among other official White House duties.
Donald Trump has organized one rally in a battleground state in those two and a half weeks, and moved another to Ohio, partly to save on expenses. He has also participated in two golf tournaments at his Palm Beach golf club, along with other activities at his club, such as lunches with potential campaign donors that aides believe are about to yield significant results.

Apart from his ongoing court appearances, which he has chosen to attend, Trump has largely stayed behind closed doors in Palm Beach, working to increase his struggling campaign fundraising and develop a strategy for paying the $454 million bond he has been ordered to pay after the judge in his New York civil fraud trial found that he and his company had been dishonest about their assets for years.
Trump has been outraised by President Biden by almost 4 to 1, but it is not just money. Biden has been much more active than Trump. The President has been traveling extensively across the country, announcing a range of initiatives from infrastructure investments to new manufacturing projects to student loan debt relief. It seems like Biden has been everywhere in recent weeks, including delivering the State Of The Union and working on a ceasefire for Gaza.
Biden has also been hosting campaign events in states such as Georgia, Texas, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
In contrast, Donald Trump hardly campaigns one day a week. He typically holds events on Saturdays, and the venues for those events have become smaller and less expensive. Gone are the days when Trump would spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a large rally. Trump’s recent speech in Ohio was not even a Trump campaign event.
Trump lacks the financial means to campaign. The Trump campaign sought to end the Republican primary early due to a lack of funds for a lengthy and contested primary.
Joe Biden consistently makes headlines, while Donald Trump is secluded in his club playing golf and trying to figure out how he will pay a $454 million bond.
Only one candidate is actively campaigning at the moment, and it is not financially struggling Trump.
