David Plouffe, a senior adviser for Kamala Harris' presidential campaign, said during an Axios House event on Tuesday that the vice president will campaign "much more vigorously" than former President Trump.
Why it matters: Plouffe, who served as former President Obama's campaign manager in 2008, told Axios' Mike Allen that Trump "campaigned hard" in 2016 and "was out there a lot" in 2020, but he's got a "really lazy schedule" in 2024.
Driving the news: Plouffe said that Harris and Gov. Tim Walz are going to campaign aggressively in the key battlegrounds during the crucial stretch of the election. He told Axios on Tuesday that the Sun Belt battlegrounds are back in play for Democrats.
"I think candidate-wise Kamala Harris is reaching people, she's communicating with them in a way that clearly they are finding to be effective, and Donald Trump's not," he said. "A campaign, yes it's ads, yes it's field operation, all important, but the most important thing in a presidential campaign is the candidate." "We talk about [Trump] like a child," Plouffe said.

He had mentally prepared himself to do the bare minimum when he thought he was going against Biden. Have Vance and a bunch of flying monkees hit the road and all he had to do was hurl insults on his dumb app and pop out ever now and then to say something provacative to keep him in the headlines.

You are toast, Chump.
Does anyone wonder why - if they really DID steal it - they'd give it to HIM?
What a waste! What a loser!

And theres always the risk of a national crisis that an incumbent president would have to deal with. With Joe taking care of presidential duties, that leaves Kamala more freedom to really hit the campaign trail. Win win win, I hope!
