President Biden has been traveling to swing states for the past two weeks and Trump has been staying at his club.
Jonathan Lemire explained the contrast between the two campaigns on MSNBC:
This is part of Biden's re-election campaign, with the president visiting eight swing states in 18 days. During the month, Biden traveled across the country, visiting the Southwest, Blue Wall, and the South. Campaign stops focused on border security, lowering healthcare and housing costs, and celebrating CHIPS And Science Act investments.
Biden won Georgia, Wisconsin, and Arizona by less than 1% in the states he visited. This reflects the president's strategy since the State Of The Union address. He reassured Democrats who were nervous about his ability to do the job. This clearly worked and led to increased travel and fund-raising, including an upcoming event with former presidents Obama and Clinton in New York City. In contrast, Trump is barely traveling.

He’s kicked off a blitz of travel in contrast with Trump sitting on a golf cart, barely on the road at all with smaller rallies.

It's important to note that Donald Trump hasn't been campaigning, and it's been almost two weeks since he has participated in any campaign activities. Before these past two weeks, Trump was only campaigning once a week on Saturdays.
Donald Trump is behaving as if he has the advantage in the election as the incumbent.
Republicans and the media worried about President Biden's age and ability to do the job, but Biden is currently outpacing Donald Trump.
