Joe Biden, an 81-year-old political figure, made his way to Milwaukee, Wisconsin to deliver a speech at the Wisconsin Black Chamber of Commerce. This move seems to be a part of Biden’s attempts to regain the support of the black community, which has been showing signs of turning towards former President Donald Trump, as per a recent poll. According to the said poll, Trump has been gaining traction among black voters, a worrying sign for Biden’s camp.
During his speech, Biden appeared to be his usual self, making gaffes and false claims. Among his statements, Biden falsely claimed that “wages for workers are up” and “black wealth is up a record 60 percent.” However, data suggests the opposite – real wages are down almost 3%, and middle-class households have lost an average of more than $33,000 in real wealth over the past year. These claims present a stark contrast to the reality faced by many Americans.
After wrapping up his remarks, Biden was observed to be confused as he moved away from the stage. This incident only adds fuel to the concerns about Biden’s health and mental acuity, which have been subjects of speculation and scrutiny since the start of his presidency. This latest display of confusion is likely to raise more questions about his ability to fulfill the duties of his office.
Biden’s visit to Milwaukee was an attempt to address the concerns of the black community, but his statements and demeanor during the event may have only magnified the existing doubts about his suitability for the presidency. In the face of growing support for Trump among black voters, Biden and his administration will need to strategize and take concrete actions to rebuild confidence and trust within this critical demographic.
