Donald Trump's campaign is quite literally nowhere to be seen in the critical swing states that will decide the election this fall.
As Joe Biden builds out campaign infrastructure in key battleground states, report after report shows that Trump's effort is invisible.
Take Michigan, for example. Biden reclaimed the state by a small 3-point margin in 2020 after Trump flipped it by less than a point four years earlier. Its 15 electoral votes will once again be up for grabs this year, which is why Biden's team just announced plans to open 30 offices throughout the state by mid-April, including in Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Marquette.
So where's Trump? When the Detroit News' Greg Mauger asked the Trump campaign to confirm Democrats' claim that the GOP's presumptive nominee had "yet to open a single campaign office" in the state, a spokesperson, Chris LaCivita, sputtered about polling and insisted he wouldn't "shar[e] our strategy with Democrats through the media."
A more honest take came from state GOP chair Pete Hoekstra, who admitted to the Associated Press' Steve Peoples that the Republican presence in Michigan was a "skeleton."
