President Joe Biden tore into former president and his presumptive 2024 rival,Donald Trump, on Wednesday while kicking off his Black voter mobilization effort in Philadelphia.
Biden spoke at private preparatory school Girard College and told Black Americans, “I’m still optimistic, but I need you.” He asked the crowd of supporters, “Are you with me?” The audience stood and shouted back, “Yes.”
At one point during the speech, Biden took aim at some of Trump’s rhetoric surrounding his record with Black Americans.
