Former Vice Pres. Joe Biden declares in new ad that 'now is the time for racial justice.'
Biden starts the video asking,"Why, in this nation, do Black Americans wake up knowing they can lose their life in the course of just living their life?" Moments later, Harris says,"Part of the point of freedom is to be free from brutality, free from injustice, free from racism and all of its manifestations."Viewers throughout the one-minute ad see multigenerational African American families, doctors and teachers as Biden and Harris talk about policing and racial injustice.
The former vice president is expected to meet with Jacob Blake Sr. and other of Jacob Blake's family members in Kenosha, according to a spokesperson for the Blake family.
