Pete Buttigieg is holding the most fundraisers. Elizabeth Warren is headlining scores of town-hall style meetings — and snapping a record-number of selfies. And when Joe Biden isn’t raising money, he’s camping out in the early states trying to keep pace with the others.

In the months since the former vice president and front-runner launched his presidential campaign, he and Kamala Harris have had to make sacrifices others did not to accommodate their heavier reliance on big-dollar fundraising. Warren and Bernie Sanders, by comparison, are spending fewer days on the road, but getting more public face-time with voters than Biden and Harris. POLITICO tallied all of the public events and fleshed out the remainder of their calendars, including the private fundraisers — information being reported here for the first time.

The figures help sketch out a fuller picture of a primary campaign that most Americans only see flash before them on cable TV. Each candidate is approaching their days a bit differently: Warren focuses the majority of her events on medium to increasingly large-scale town halls. The Massachusetts senator stays for hours afterward to chat with attendees, answer a few brief questions and take pictures.
