As the general election campaign heats up, Donald Trump and Joe Biden are taking starkly different approaches to woo voters and secure their path to the White House.
Trump's unconventional campaign tactics have been on full display, from hawking Bibles to attending a fallen police officer's wake. His strategy seems to focus on maintaining a strong presence in the media and rallying his base rather than addressing policy issues or expanding his voter base.
In contrast, Biden has been actively engaging in traditional campaign activities, such as touring swing states and highlighting policy achievements like the bipartisan infrastructure bill. The president is also targeting key voter demographics, including Black voters and women, to shore up his support.
While Trump's campaign appears to be mired in legal battles and distractions, Biden is seizing the opportunity to solidify his position and gain early momentum. The president's recent joint event with former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama aimed to showcase Democratic unity and rally support for his re-election bid.
However, challenges loom for both candidates. Trump's legal troubles and ongoing distractions could hinder his campaign's momentum, while Biden faces criticism over his stance on international issues like the conflict between Israel and Hamas, which has sparked protests and threatens to impact voter turnout among progressive and Arab American communities.
As the race intensifies, both candidates will need to navigate these obstacles and fine-tune their strategies to appeal to a diverse electorate and secure victory in what promises to be a closely contested election.
