President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris\u2019 re-election campaign has revealed its ongoing, \u2018aggressive\u2019 strategy to gain the advantage in critical swing states ahead of the November general election, telling Fox News Digital it will \u2018take relentless effort\u2019 to defeat former President Trump.<\/p>\n

Speaking with Fox amid a cross-country tour that will culminate in the president visiting all six of the states in which he narrowly defeated Trump in 2020, Biden-Harris communications director Michael Tyler touted the hawkish approach being taken by the campaign following the president\u2019s fiery State of the Union speech earlier this month.<\/p>\n

\u2018We knew kicking off the year we wanted to have an aggressive posture going into 2024. That\u2019s why the president began the year with speeches in places like Valley Forge and in Charleston, where he laid out what this election was going to be about,\u2019 Tyler said.<\/p>\n

\u2018Looking ahead to March, we knew we had tentpole moments like Super Tuesday, and State of the Union, where, in the minds of the American electorate, the general election was really going to kick off,\u2019 he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The day after his State of the Union speech \u2014 which avoided any major gaffes Republicans often point to as evidence of cognitive decline \u2014 Biden hit the campaign trail with a stop in Philadelphia, followed by another in Atlanta the next day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Stops in Wisconsin and Michigan followed on Thursday, with more planned in Nevada and Arizona this week, all an effort to demonstrate what Tyler described as \u2018defining the choice\u2019 voters have this November. \u2018Joe Biden, who wakes up every single day fighting for the American people, bringing people together to get results, and Donald Trump, who is running a campaign of revenge and retribution, and is focused on himself.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018This is, of course, going to be a very, very competitive general election contest, as all presidential elections are. But we feel good about where we\u2019re at, just given some of the key metrics. And if you look at which candidate is fully consolidating their base of support, Joe Biden is doing that throughout the primary contest, while Donald Trump continues to hit a ceiling in proving an inability to expand beyond the MAGA base,\u2019 Tyler said.<\/p>\n

Concern over Trump\u2019s ability to coalesce the various factions of the Republican Party behind his candidacy has continued to grow following former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley\u2019s departure from the race the morning after Super Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite suspending her campaign, Haley still received more than 13% of the vote in Georgia\u2019s primary last week, although it is unclear how much of that was early or absentee votes cast before she dropped out.<\/p>\n

Recent polls have also suggested large portions of voters who supported Haley in other states were motivated by their opposition to Trump, and that they might not shift their support to him as the Republican nominee.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That does not mean those voters would automatically show up to support Biden, but, as Fox News contributor and Republican strategist Karl Rove said amid Super Tuesday\u2019s results being tallied, \u2018Team Trump ought to be concerned about unifying the Republican Party.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018I just think the ability to expand beyond the MAGA base, look at which candidate is amassing the financial resources and building the infrastructure needed to reach the voters who are going to decide this election \u2014 Joe Biden is doing that. Donald Trump is not,\u2019 Tyler said, referencing the massive cash advantage the campaign, in conjunction with the Democratic National Committee, holds over their Republican rivals.<\/p>\n

\u2018We have $130 million in the bank to wage this general election fight, while Donald Trump is \u2026 either spending money up to this stage in the race fending off Nikki Haley or spending money on legal fees. None of the money that he\u2019s spending so far is geared towards reaching the voters that are going to, again, decide the pathway to 270 electoral votes in the general election,\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n

According to FEC filings, the $50 million spent by Trump\u2019s fundraising entities on his legal defense last year goes up to north of $90 million if spending in 2022 and 2021 is included. Combining that with Trump\u2019s fundraising costs \u2014 which reach nearly half of the $282 million he\u2019s raised \u2014 his cash burn rate amounts to a whopping 81%, leaving him just $0.19 per dollar raised.<\/p>\n

\u2018He\u2019s spending that money screaming into an echo chamber of MAGA extremism. And I think the most important thing is which candidate is running on an agenda that\u2019s actually popular with the American people, and with a proven track record of delivering results for the American people,\u2019 Tyler said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018Joe Biden is clearly doing that, running on a historic record of accomplishment, and running on an agenda that is very popular, versus Donald Trump, who is running on an agenda that is even more extreme than the one that he governed on when he had power, and that he campaigned on in 2020. It\u2019s as dangerous as it is extreme this go around in 2024,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

When asked if he felt Biden \u2014 who has trailed Trump in recent swing state polls \u2014 could get a boost from the former president possibly being required to attend court rather than be on the campaign trail, Tyler did not concede that any aspect of the race would be made easier.<\/p>\n

\u2018I think it\u2019s going to take a relentless effort on behalf of this campaign to reach the voters,\u2019 he said. \u2018We are running on a popular historic record of accomplishment. It is about us doing the work to communicate with the voters who are going to decide this election everything this administration has done to make their lives better over the last four years.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018The more that the American people hear about Joe Biden\u2019s record of accomplishment, his positive vision for the future, and the more that they hear about the danger and the extremism that is posed by Donald Trump, the more they\u2019re going to side with Joe Biden over the course of the next eight months,\u2019 he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tyler dismissed any notion that the campaign\u2019s aggressive posture was part of an effort to push back on concerns about Biden\u2019s age and cognitive ability, but rather about \u2018aggressively campaigning, and aggressively contrasting what this election is actually going to be about.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018The president himself has said this is not going to be a contrast in age. It\u2019s going to be a contrast in the age of the candidates\u2019 ideas,\u2019 he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018Donald Trump\u2019s ideas are old as hell, and they\u2019ve already been rejected by the American people. And so, Joe Biden is going to aggressively make sure that we reject Trump\u2019s ideas for good, and that we continue to pursue a more positive vision for what this country can achieve if we all work together,\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n
