As Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz embark on a whirlwind bus tour across Pennsylvania, Donald Trump is doing what he does best—lounging at Mar-a-Lago. While Harris is shaking hands and kissing babies, Trump is likely perfecting his golf swing and ordering another round of Diet Coke.

Nidia Cavazos of CBS News reported that Harris and Walz will kick off their tour in Pittsburgh, making several stops along the way to connect with voters. The tour will include retail stops, giving Harris a chance to meet everyday folks, something Trump’s campaign seems to have forgotten how to do. Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff and Minnesota’s First Lady Gwen Walz will also be along for the ride, making this bus tour a family affair.

Harris is set to hit more campaign stops in one state in a single day than Trump has managed all month. That’s not just dedication; it’s the sort of relentless energy that makes the former reality TV star look like he’s stuck in reruns. The stark contrast between Harris’s bustling schedule and Trump’s leisurely pace is like watching a tortoise and hare race—except in this case, the hare is napping under a palm tree.

One has to wonder: is Trump’s campaign strategy simply to bore us into submission? Or is it a sign that the 78-year-old ex-president might just be out of gas? Sure, he’ll rant on Truth Social, but the lack of urgency on the campaign trail suggests he’s either overconfident or simply can’t keep up.

Meanwhile, Harris is crisscrossing battleground states like Pennsylvania, ensuring her name stays on voters’ minds. She’s making the kind of direct contact with voters that used to be Trump’s bread and butter. Now, it seems, he’s content with the breadsticks at his club.

If Trump’s campaign is a lackluster rerun, Harris’s is a high-energy reboot, and as she racks up miles on the bus, she’s also racking up political points. At this rate, by the time Trump decides to show up, Harris might have already won the race.
