President Joe Biden will lead an “aggressive travel schedule” in July that will take him, the vice president and the first lady to every swing state, his reelection campaign said.
This announcement comes as the president faces questions about his political future and fitness for office, following his poor performance in last week’s presidential debate on CNN.
Several of Biden’s allies have publicly called on the president to accelerate his public agenda, including giving more interviews and participating in more impromptu moments, as he tries to convince voters and senior officials in his own party that he is fit to run for a second term.
The accelerated travel schedule will begin after the president spends next week in Washington, D.C., for the NATO summit.
While the Republican National Convention is underway, the president is expected to deliver remarks at two conferences in the state of Nevada as he seeks to appeal to black and Latino voters.
The campaign also said the president would continue his push into traditionally Democratic “hotspot states” in July. The campaign said the president will try to engage in “frequent unscripted moments” this month and focus on interviews with “national, local and constituent media outlets,” including Black and Latino media outlets.
Several of the president’s allies have encouraged him to step up his campaign and public messaging efforts to show voters he is willing to stay in the presidential race.
