The president’s reelection campaign is launching Black Voters for Biden-Harris to gin up enthusiasm, as polls show Biden losing ground among the crucial constituency.
Speaking to a rowdy crowd of several hundred voters huddled in a North Philadelphia high school auditorium, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris formally launched their campaign’s Black voter outreach initiative Wednesday, as polls show the president is losing support from the crucial constituency that helped deliver him the White House in 2020.
“Because Black America voted, Kamala and I are president and vice president of the United States,” President Biden said. “Because you voted, Donald Trump was defeated — a former president. With your vote in 2024, we’re gonna make Donald Trump a loser again.” Immediately following his remarks, President Biden visited South Restaurant & Jazz Club, a local Black-owned small business, to greet supporters.
President Biden won the 2020 Democratic nomination in no small part due to his support from Black Americans. Though he fared poorly in the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary, President Biden won the South Carolina primary by a decisive margin, with Black voters showing up for him in large numbers.
The Biden campaign’s launch of Black Voters for Biden-Harris paves the way for partnership with organizations for voter outreach and engagement events with surrogates in key swing states, according to the campaign.“Well, I think Joe Biden is going to make everybody, the country great again. I think Joe Biden did a lot already for us, especially for the vets,” said Bernard Crudup Sr.
