Joe Biden is picking up the pace of his campaign travel as the presidential race enters its final week, announcing plans to hit traditional battlegrounds as well as some states that seemed out of reach until recently.
The Democratic presidential nominee will visit Iowa and Wisconsin on Friday, adding to a travel schedule that includes a visit to newly competitive Georgia on Tuesday and a trip to Florida on Thursday. But the pace of his travel still pales in comparison to President Donald Trump, who’s been blitzing the battleground states with as many as three rallies a day.
Since Thursday’s debate, Biden had no campaign events on Friday or Sunday. He also had no public schedule during the first three days of last week as he prepared for Thursday’s debate. Biden has only visited one battleground state, Pennsylvania, in the last week, with trips on Saturday and Monday, when he made a quick stop outside the city hall of Chester, where his campaign had set up tents to distribute information to voters.
