0:51Now PlayingPresident Joe Biden is moving to win back Black voters who are crucial to his reelection chances this year.
On Monday, Biden traveled to South Carolina — the state that rescued his 2020 presidential bid — to argue they should rally to his side again despite misgivings about his handling of the economy, his age and the administration’s halting progress on issues like voting rights, student loans and police reform.
Instead, Biden offered a sweeping and at times emotional plea from the pulpit of Mother Emanuel AME in Charleston, a historic Black church where a White supremacist gunman killed nine people in 2015. Biden evoked the history of the American Civil War and said that former President Donald Trump and Republicans were seeking to mount a “second lost cause” that would disenfranchise and disadvantage Black Americans.
Biden needs Black communities in Atlanta, Philadelphia and Detroit to turn out in November in order to carry states that will decide the 2024 election. But polls show those same voters have grown increasingly frustrated with the administration on key issues. Trump, the GOP frontrunner, is eager to chip away at Biden’s electoral coalition ahead of their likely rematch.
