Trailing Donald Trump in multiple national and battleground polls, President Joe Biden on Wednesday took his patchwork reelection bid back to Pennsylvania, trying to sew the crucial Black voter bloc back onto his campaign quilt by slamming Donald Trump.
“Folks, if anyone wonders whether their vote matters, remember this: Because Black Americans voted in 2020 … Donald Trump is the defeated former president. … And if you vote in 2024, we’re going to make Donald Trump a loser again,” Biden said after the audience greeted him with a chant of “four more years!”
Biden was joined by Vice President Kamala Harris a few hours after their reelection campaign announced in a statement a summer initiative to spend “eight figures” to “engage Black voters where they are,” through partnerships with “on-the-ground” organizations across the country and in battleground states. The campaign statement called Black voters “the backbone of the Biden-Harris coalition.”
