Biden's support among Black voters has dipped, according to a recent poll.
President Joe Biden on Wednesday laid forcefully into rival and former President Donald Trump as he and Vice President Kamala Harris courted Black voters at a rally in Philadelphia -- delivering a speech during which he ticked off what he views as accomplishments and tying them to Black voters.
"Supreme Court blocked me from relieving student debt, but it didn't stop me. So far, I've relieved student debt for nearly 5 million Americans, a significant number are Black borrowers," Biden said. "So, you can chase your dreams, start a family, by your first home, start a business and so much more."Mandel Ngan/AFP via Getty Images
The Biden campaign released an ad highlighting Trump's involvement in the Central Park Five case, which he mentioned in the rally."The same guy who still calls the Central Park Five 'guilty,' even though they were exonerated," Biden said about the five men wrongfully convicted in the 1989 rape of a Central Park jogger.Evan Vucci/AP
