Black voters will help defeat Trump, Biden says in Philadephia
PHILADELPHIA -U.S. President Joe Biden began a new push in Philadelphia on Wednesday to court Black voters, a critical voting bloc that is showing signs of weakness for Democrats ahead of the November election, as he attacked his Republican opponent.
Biden ran through a list of his policy achievements, including removing lead pipes, a diverse administration, the first Black woman Supreme Court justice and pardons for people sentenced for marijuana possession."Promises made, promises kept," Biden repeated frequently. The campaign's concern is not that the city’s Black voters will shift toward Trump, but that too many of them may sit out the election.
This is Biden's third trip to Philadelphia — and sixth to Pennsylvania — this year, continuing a deep focus on the swing state where polling shows he narrowly trails Trump.
