President Biden is currently on the West Coast for a fundraising swing, as reports indicate a significant influx of funds into his campaign. Recent filings reveal that the campaign started February with close to $56 million in hand, almost double the amount available to Trump's campaign. Biden is intensifying attacks on Trump's controversial statements, directing his campaign aides to ramp up criticisms.
During a closed-door fundraiser in Los Angeles, President Biden criticized Trump and the Republican Party, labeling them as a party of chaos. He specifically condemned Trump for not denouncing Vladimir Putin regarding the death of Alexei Navalny, deeming it outrageous. Biden's remarks at the fundraiser echoed his sentiments in a video released by the White House, where he questioned Trump's failure to hold Putin accountable for Navalny's death.
President Biden has been increasingly vocal in his opposition to Trump since the beginning of the year, urging his team to escalate their criticisms. He personally instructed senior aides to highlight what he referred to as the 'crazy stuff' Trump says, emphasizing the need to draw attention to Trump's inflammatory remarks.
The Biden campaign is strategically emphasizing the differences between Biden and Trump, focusing on temperament and policy disparities. They aim to remind voters of the potential consequences of another four years of Trump in the White House, believing that this contrast will work in their favor come November.
