WATCH: Confused Biden Shuffles Away After Pandering to Black Voters in Milwaukee


Earlier today, Joe Biden made a stop in Milwaukee, WI to deliver remarks at the Wisconsin Black Chamber of Commerce.

Per usual, 81-year-old Sleepy Joe bumbled his way through the whole ordeal. His speech was riddle with gaffes and brazen lies as he pandered to Black voters.

“I come from a state that has the eighth-largest Black population in the country, and as they say the saying goes where I come, you brung me to the dance early on!” Biden proclaimed.

Watch here:

Biden claimed “Wages for workers are up!” and “Black wealth is up a record 60 percent!” – both bold-faced lies.

In reality, wages are down 3% and households have lost over $33K in wealth.

After he was through with his embarrassing remarks, Biden looked confused, turned around, and shuffled off the stage…

You can’t make this up, folks.

See for yourself:

The Washington Examiner reported on Biden’s remarks in Milwaukee:

President Joe Biden took his reelection tour to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he argued that his economic policies are helping stand up small businesses in minority communities.

Biden’s remarks, delivered at the Wisconsin Black Chamber of Commerce, sought to prop up black small businesses as “the engines and the glue that hold communities together.”

The president claimed that his policies have driven the largest boost in black business ownership in the past 30 years, with 15 million individuals filing applications to start a new small business since he entered office in 2021.

White House officials had told reporters that 14 million small business applications had been filed over the past three years.

“We’re doing it by building the economy from the middle out and the bottom up, not the top down,” Biden continued. “Not a whole lot of trickle-down on my dad’s kitchen table with a top-down economy, but when you increase the middle class, the poor have a shot and the wealthy still do very well. The middle class does well, and we all do well. That’s what we call Bidenomics.”

Biden is desperate to drum up support from the Black community for 2024.

At least one recent poll from Pew Research shows Biden’s approval rating among Black voters slipping.

Take a look:

 

U.S. News & World Report had this to say about support for Biden dropping among Black voters:

Biden has seen his support among Black voters slip nationally. An NBC poll last month found that the president’s net approval among Black voters dropped 20 percentage points from the beginning of 2023 until November. That survey found that 61% of Black voters approve of Biden, and 34% disapprove – bad numbers for a president who arguably owes his 2020 nomination to Black voters.

The discontent doesn’t mean Black voters are flipping to Trump or other Republicans, analysts note. But they could sit out the election, possibly depriving Biden of the narrow, critical margins he needs to win in battleground states.

Wisconsin, too, with its 10 Electoral College votes, is an important part of any victory map for Biden, pollsters and analysts say – especially since 2020 Democratic pickups like Georgia and Arizona are looking shaky for the incumbent president.

“It makes a ton of sense to try to preserve Wisconsin,” where Biden and Trump are virtually tied in various polls, says Charles Franklin, director of the Marquette Law School poll.

“I thought the fact that he was appearing before the Black Chamber of Commerce and talking about small business is exactly the kind of campaign stuff you would expect at this point,” especially since “there has been some grumbling and disenchantment with him” among the Democratic base, adds Franklin, who also teaches law at the Milwaukee school.

“Taking steps months out to shore up that support .. that’s an interesting and smart campaign move,” Franklin says.

It’s not clear that Biden’s efforts will be successful next year. Despite strong macroeconomic numbers, including the creation of 14 million jobs during Biden’s first three years in office, Americans remain unhappy about the economy in general and frustrated with inflation in particular, polling shows.

The Biden campaign has cast the race not as a referendum on the incumbent president but as a “choice” election – with the other option being a former president who cut taxes for the wealthiest Americans and who is now making comments about immigrants that are eerily similar to those Adolf Hitler made in his book, Mein Kampf.

Faced with an actual choice more than 10 months from now, it’s reasonable to think that the “vast majority” of Black voters will come back to Biden – “but that’s not something that’s going to happen automatically,” Franklin says. “The fact that he is campaigning here [in Milwaukee] is proof they are trying to take steps on that.”
