Former President Donald Trump, in keeping with his preference for shunning traditional debate prep, will spend his last Saturday before his first one-on-one showdown with President Joe Biden out on the campaign trail. Trump will address a gathering of Christian conservatives Saturday afternoon in Washington, DC, before traveling to Philadelphia for a more traditional campaign rally in a key battleground. The back-to-back public appearances stand in stark contrast to Biden’s approach to the first of two presidential debates. The president and his team are spending the weekend before the debate at Camp David, pouring over briefing binders and holding mock debate sessions as he crams for his high-stakes meetings with Trump. While Trump has held informal briefing sessions with advisers and allies, he has also kept up an active campaign schedule. He held a rally in Racine, Wisconsin, on Tuesday and attended a fundraiser Thursday night in Ohio. Trump’s campaign is relishing the juxtaposition of the two candidates’ preparation styles. “While Joe Biden’s advisors force him to hide away at Camp David for some much-needed rest, President Trump is keeping up with his busy campaign schedule,” Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said.
