President Biden is focusing on garnering support from black voters, a crucial demographic that played a significant role in his election victory in 2020. With the upcoming November elections looming, the President is aiming to secure their backing once again.
A recent poll indicates that former President Donald Trump is gaining traction among black voters, with over 20% of the black vote in key battleground states favoring him in a potential matchup against President Biden. This surge marks a notable increase from the 12% support Trump received nationwide in 2020, representing the highest level of black support for a Republican presidential candidate since the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
President Biden is scheduled to deliver a speech at the Museum of African American History in the nation's capital, where he will commemorate the 70th anniversary of the landmark Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court ruling. This ruling marked the end of school desegregation in the United States and holds significant historical importance in the civil rights movement.
Recently, the President met with the plaintiffs of the Brown v. Board of Education cases at the White House, emphasizing his commitment to honoring the civil rights movement's legacy and discussing his plans to support black voters in the future.
Later in the day, President Biden is set to meet with leaders from the 'Divine Nine,' a group comprising historically black fraternities and sororities. These engagements underscore the President's efforts to engage with and appeal to black voters, recognizing their pivotal role in his previous electoral success.
As President Biden continues to reach out to black voters and address their concerns, his interactions with key figures in the civil rights movement and the African American community highlight his commitment to advancing racial equality and inclusivity in the United States.
