Black Democratic lawmakers support Biden during call, helping his campaign.
Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee for the 2020 presidential election, recently had a conversation with members of the Congressional Black Caucus to discuss his campaign and seek their support. The response from caucus members was overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing their support for Biden and reaffirming their commitment to his candidacy.
During the call, Biden was described as clear, coherent, concise, and committed by caucus members who found his message energizing. Despite recent challenges in the form of a lackluster debate performance, Biden addressed this head-on, acknowledging the poor showing and assuring caucus members that he would continue to lead the country in the right direction.
The president also outlined his agenda, touching on key issues such as the infrastructure bill, reproductive rights, and Black wealth. He emphasized the importance of defeating Donald Trump in the upcoming election and highlighted the need for unity and engagement from all supporters. Biden underscored his previous statements that all jobs are Black jobs, countering Trump’s divisive rhetoric about immigrants taking away opportunities from the Black community.
In response to the call, Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chair Nanette Barragán and Deputy Chair Adriano Espaillat released a statement expressing their support for Biden. Barragán emphasized the positive conversations she had with caucus members, reiterating their commitment to standing with the president and engaging further in campaign events.
Overall, the call with the Congressional Black Caucus served as a reaffirmation of support for Joe Biden and his candidacy. Caucus members expressed their backing for the presumptive nominee and pledged to work towards his election to the presidency in November. With key endorsements from influential caucus leaders and a strong message of unity and inclusivity, Biden continues to build momentum and support among crucial voting blocs.
