Biden Says ‘Trump Hurt Black People’

May 16, 2024 · 8:51 am ET · Leave a Comment

In the latest sign that Joe Biden may be worried about backlash to his Sunday commencement address at Morehouse College, the president slammed Donald Trump on an Atlanta radio show, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.

Said Biden: “Look, Trump hurt Black people every chance he got. Black unemployment, uninsurance rates went up under Trump. Trump’s tax plan reinforced discrimination. Typical white households got double the cut of the typical Black household. They botched COVID-19 response, leaving Black people dead and Black-owned businesses shuttered.”
