在他第四次前往威斯康星州总统先生，今年已经乔·拜登周三，在摇摆州的一场私人竞选活动中，他寻求黑人选民谈论11月的利害关系。
这场活动是竞选团队在5月份安排的一系列活动中的第一场，这些活动的重点是加深与2024年关键核心选民的联系选举.
“我参与政治是因为非洲裔美国人社区，”拜登对拉辛县当地支持者和社区成员中主要是黑人的观众说。
总统因在黑人社区的民调数字落后而受到包括南卡罗来纳州众议员吉姆·克莱伯恩在内的主要民主党人的批评，他试图通过与前总统唐纳德·特朗普形成鲜明对比来吸引威斯康星州的关键人口。
拜登说:“特朗普是说话算数的，他说他要消除我们所做的一切。
在与记者的通话中，拜登的竞选副经理昆廷·富尔克斯表示，竞选团队正在“努力赢得每一张选票”。
富尔克斯说:“大选对全国选民来说刚刚开始具体化，我们正在利用这一时刻在他们所在的地方与他们见面。
拉辛警察局长阿特·豪厄尔在活动中介绍了拜登，称该活动“令人鼓舞”。
“在那里的人们能够真正与总统建立亲密的联系。豪厄尔说:“了解他过去的成就、当前的议程和未来的愿景。
拜登还吹捧了他的政府直接影响黑人社区的政策，包括将胰岛素自付费用限制在35美元.
在周三发布的一份备忘录中，竞选团队认为特朗普辜负了黑人社区，称他支持的立法使该州失去了83，000多个工作岗位。
威斯康星州主任加伦·伦道夫在备忘录中说:“尽管特朗普和他的MAGA盟友放弃了接触黑人选民的努力，但拜登-哈里斯竞选团队一直在很早和经常出现。”“拜登总统和他的竞选团队致力于在他们赢得选票的地方会见选民。这与唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)形成了鲜明对比，后者在该州几乎没有任何竞选基础设施，并且正在用他扼杀就业的极端主义议程赶走选民。”。
周三，竞选团队宣布了一项5月份1400万美元的新付费媒体投资，其中包括对非裔美国人、西班牙裔和AAPI媒体的七位数投资。
威斯康星州具有特殊的政治意义。这是中西部关键的“蓝墙”的一部分，在特朗普成为候选人之前的几十年里，该墙一直投票给民主党。拜登在2020年仅以约2万张选票的优势赢得了该州。11月的失败可能会对他的连任努力造成重大打击。
根据最新消息马奎特法学院的民意调查，威斯康星州只有37%的黑人选民表示他们对11月的总统选举“非常热情”。根据2020年人口普查，这个令人垂涎的群体占该州人口的近7%，在密尔沃基占21%。
在最近的华盛顿邮报/益普索调查中投票在投票率方面，拜登面临着美国黑人的额外问题。调查发现，62%的美国黑人表示他们“绝对肯定会投票”，低于2020年6月的74%。
沙尼斯·琼斯一直在密尔沃基为黑人领袖社区组织(或称集团)拉票，她说她已经“厌倦”支持那些不支持她所在社区的总统候选人。
“我觉得一旦有机会，每个人都应该得到机会，但这取决于你上任后的表现，以证明你是否值得另一次机会。现在，从他的发展来看，我真的觉得他不应该这样做。
Biden campaign works to woo Black voters in key swing state of Wisconsin
In his fourth trip toWisconsinalready this year, PresidentJoe Bidenon Wednesday, at an intimate campaign event in the swing state, sought out Black voters to speak about the stakes in November.
The event was the first in a series of engagements the campaign has scheduled through the month of May that focus on deepening contacts with what it has deemed to be the core constituencies critical in the 2024election.
"I got involved in politics because of the African American community," Biden told the mainly Black audience of local supporters and community members in Racine County.
The president, who has faced criticism from key Democrats, including South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn, for his lagging polling numbers in the Black community, sought to woo the key demographic in Wisconsin by drawing a sharp contrast with former President Donald Trump.
"Trump means what he says and he says he's gonna get rid of all the stuff that we've done," Biden said.
On a call with reporters, Biden's deputy campaign manager Quentin Fulks said the campaign is "attempting to earn every vote."
"The general election is just starting to crystallize for voters across the country, and we're taking advantage of the moment to meet them where they are," Fulks said.
Racine Police Chief Art Howell, who introduced Biden at the event called the event "encouraging."
"The folks that were there, were able to really connect with the president on an intimate level. Learn more about his past accomplishments, current agenda and vision moving forward," Howell said.
Biden also touted his administration's policies that have directly affected the Black community, includingcapping insulin out-of-pocket costs at $35.
In a memo released Wednesday, the campaign argued that Trump has failed the Black community, saying he's supported legislation that cost the state more than 83,000 jobs.
“While Trump and his MAGA allies abandon efforts to reach Black voters, the Biden-Harris campaign has been showing up early and often,” said Wisconsin Director Garren Randolph in the memo. “President Biden and his campaign are committed to meeting voters where they are to earn their vote. That’s a stark contrast to Donald Trump, who has virtually no campaign infrastructure in the state and is driving away voters with his job-killing, extremist agenda.”.
On Wednesday the campaign announced a new $14 million paid media investment for May that includes seven-figure investments into African American, Hispanic, and AAPI media.
Wisconsin has special political significance. It's part of the critical "blue wall" in the Midwest that voted Democratic for decades before Trump's candidacy. Biden only won the state over Trump in 2020 by some 20,000 votes. A loss in November would likely be a major blow to his reelection effort.
According to the latestMarquette Law School polling,just 37% of Black voters in Wisconsin say they're "very enthusiastic" about November's presidential election. The coveted group makes up nearly 7% of the state's population, according to the 2020 census and 21% in Milwaukee.
In a recent Washington Post/Ipsospoll, Biden faces additional problems with Black Americans in terms of turnout. The poll found that 62% of Black Americans say they're "absolutely certain to vote," down from 74% in June 2020.
Shanice Jones, who has been out canvassing in Milwaukee for the group Black Leaders Organizing for the Community, or BLOC, said she's "tired" of supporting presidential candidates who she said don't support her community.
"I feel like everybody deserves a chance once they get that chance, but it's up to what you do when you get to office to prove if you deserve another chance. And right now, the way he's going, I really don't feel like he should," she said.
