President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are intensifying their efforts to engage Black voters, a crucial component of their winning coalition in the 2020 election that has shown signs of weakening. The duo will kick off a new Black voter outreach initiative during a visit to Pennsylvania, a key battleground state.
Their itinerary includes stops at Girard College, an independent boarding school in Philadelphia with a predominantly Black student body, and a visit to a small business to meet with members of the Black Chamber of Commerce. These visits mark the beginning of an extensive summerlong campaign, described as an eight-figure effort, to connect with Black student organizations, community groups, and faith centers.
