Gov. Wes Moore said he thinks black voters will rally around Joe Biden in time for the 2024 election, in which the incumbent will likely face Donald Trump.
Attending a Biden campaign event in Atlanta, Moore, a member of the Biden-Harris 2024 National Advisory Board, joined MSNBC’s Al Sharpton. The pair discussed the recently announced support of the president from the AAPI Victory Fund, The Collective PAC, and the Latino Victory Fund, three organizations that represent voters of color. Sharpton noted that collectively, they are donating $30 million to the president’s campaign.
“We’re watching how people are unifying behind the Biden-Harris ticket, and we’re seeing that results matter,” Moore. “When we’re talking about 14 million new jobs since this administration has come on board, some of the lowest unemployment rates we’ve seen historically that’s been recorded under their administration.”
Sharpton asked Moore about black voters in particular, which could be a concern for the Biden campaign if reports of“I think black support is going to consolidate around the president because the support of the black community has always been a priority of the president,” Moore said. “The president has always made our interests a priority.”
Moore, the nation’s only black governor and just the third ever to be elected, said Marylanders have seen the effects of Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’s leadership, pointing to low unemployment numbers in the Old Line State, similar to the president’s remarks during the State of the Union on Thursday.
The governor added that “it shouldn’t be lost on anybody” that Biden’s first campaign event since that address is in Atlanta, in which almost 48% of residents are black, according to Census data.Tags
