周三，美国总统乔·拜登(Joe Biden)在费城的一次集会上与副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯拉拢黑人选民时，对其竞争对手、前总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)进行了有力抨击。拜登在演讲中列举了他认为的成就，并将这些成就与黑人选民联系在一起。
“因为美国黑人投票，卡玛拉和我成为美国总统和副总统。因为你。这并不夸张，”拜登对聚集在吉拉德学院(Girard College)的人群说。该学院是一所一年级至十二年级以黑人为主的寄宿学校。“因为你投票了，唐纳德·特朗普是被击败的前总统。有了你们的投票——有了你们在2024年的投票，我们将让唐纳德·特朗普再次成为失败者。”
拜登吹捧他的成就:低失业率、降低处方药费用和免除学生债务——所有这些都是他在演讲中经常谈到的项目，但这次提到了对黑人选民的好处。
“最高法院阻止我减免学生债务，但这并没有阻止我。到目前为止，我已经减免了近500万美国人的学生债务，其中相当一部分是黑人借款人。“所以，你可以追逐自己的梦想，组建家庭，拥有自己的第一套房子，创业等等。”
美国广播公司新闻/益普索最近的一项民意调查发现，拜登在黑人选民中的支持率比他在2020年的得票率下降了两位数74%的人表示他们目前支持总统与…相比87%的人说他们投票给他是最后一次选举.
推定的共和党提名人特朗普曾试图直接拉拢黑人选民。男性上周在纽约南布朗克斯区举行了一次集会他曾预先计划在快餐店拍照，并表示他的刑事起诉书将有助于他与黑人选民建立联系——拜登团队今年早些时候称这是“公然的种族主义”。
拜登重复了他对特朗普的一些攻击路线，抨击前总统称“冲击首都的叛乱分子为‘爱国者’”，并表示他将赦免他们。
“让我问你:如果美国黑人在1月6日发起冲击，你认为他会怎么做?想想这个。如果美国黑人冲进国会大厦，你认为会发生什么?我不认为他会谈论赦免，”拜登说，呼应了他本月早些时候在底特律的讲话。
拜登竞选团队发布了一则广告，强调特朗普参与了中央公园五人组案件，他在集会中提到了这一案件。
拜登在谈到1989年被误判强奸中央公园慢跑者的五名男子时说:“同一个人仍然称中央公园五人‘有罪’，尽管他们已经无罪。”
拜登抨击川普，称他不会说“黑人的命也是命”，并“让人想起新纳粹第三帝国的术语”——指的是特朗普账户上的社交媒体视频引用了“统一的帝国”这个短语特朗普删除了这条帖子，因为他的批评者说这句话反映了纳粹德国。特朗普竞选团队声称，这不是一段竞选视频，而是一名没有看到这个词的工作人员随意转发的一段在线视频。
拜登周三还抨击特朗普与美国理想对立。
“如果我让唐纳德·特朗普成为我们不再是美国人的原因，我会被诅咒的，”拜登在欢呼声中说。“如果我让唐纳德·特朗普——我们不会让唐纳德·特朗普把美国变成一个不相信诚实、体面和尊重他人的地方，我会被诅咒的。如果我让唐纳德·特朗普把美国变成一个充满愤怒、怨恨和仇恨的地方，我会被诅咒的。”
这次集会标志着拜登竞选团队全国黑人选民外联计划的开始，他们称之为拜登-哈里斯的黑人选民。这项努力伴随着八位数的投资，但竞选团队没有向ABC新闻提供具体的金额。
竞选团队表示，他们“认为黑人选民应该听到拜登-哈里斯团队的声音，他们应该获得他们的选票，而不是假设。”
费城集会后，拜登参观了当地一家黑人企业，参加黑人商会的组织活动。还有一场以众议员李金浔为主角的电话银行活动。
竞选团队表示，该运动的黑人外联活动将持续到周末，在战场州举行活动，包括亚利桑那州的黑人教堂活动、密歇根州的理发店和发廊活动以及内华达州的街区派对式庆祝活动。整个夏天，该运动表示将与公民组织合作开展选民教育和登记活动。
在此之前，拜登上周进行了为期多天的努力，与黑人选民进行接触，出席了底特律全美有色人种协进会晚宴，宣布拨款进一步取消磁铁学校的种族隔离在具有里程碑意义的布朗诉董事会案周年纪念日，采取正式的初步措施重新安排大麻，以及在莫尔豪斯学院发表毕业典礼演讲.
Biden hammers Trump in Philadelphia rally as he courts Black voters with familiar remarks
President Joe Biden on Wednesday laid forcefully into rival and former President Donald Trump as he and Vice President Kamala Harris courted Black voters at a rally in Philadelphia -- delivering a speech during which he ticked off what he views as accomplishments and tying them to Black voters.
"Because Black Americans voted, Kamala and I are president and vice president of the United States. Because of you. That's not hyperbole," Biden told a crowd gathered at Girard College, a majority Black boarding school for first grade through 12th grade. "Because you voted, Donald Trump is defeated former president. And with your vote -- with your vote in 2024, we're gonna make Donald Trump a loser again."
Biden touted his accomplishments: a low unemployment rate, lowered costs for prescription drugs and student debt forgiveness -- all items he regularly talks about in speeches, but this time mentioned the benefit to Black voters.
"Supreme Court blocked me from relieving student debt, but it didn't stop me. So far, I've relieved student debt for nearly 5 million Americans, a significant number are Black borrowers," Biden said. "So, you can chase your dreams, start a family, by your first home, start a business and so much more."
A recent ABC News/Ipsos poll found Biden's support among Black voters down by double digits from his share of the vote in 2020, with74% saying they currently back the presidentcompared to87% who said they voted for him is the last election.
Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, has made attempts to directly court Black voters. Heheld a rally in the heavily Black and Brown South Bronx, New York, last week, had pre-planned photo ops at fast food restaurants, and has suggested his criminal indictment will help him connect to Black voters -- something Biden's team called "blatantly racist" earlier this year.
Biden recycled some of his attack lines against Trump, hitting the former president for calling the "insurrectionists who stormed the capital 'patriots,'" and saying he would pardon them.
"Let me ask you: What do you think he would have done on Jan. 6 if Black Americans had stormed it? Think about this. What do you think would've happened if Black Americans had stormed the Capitol? I don't think he'd be talking about pardons," Biden said, echoing what he said in Detroit earlier this month.
The Biden campaign released an ad highlighting Trump's involvement in the Central Park Five case, which he mentioned in the rally.
"The same guy who still calls the Central Park Five 'guilty,' even though they were exonerated," Biden said about the five men wrongfully convicted in the 1989 rape of a Central Park jogger.
Biden hammered Trump, saying he wouldn't say "Black Lives Matter," and "evokes Neo-Nazi third-Reich terms" -- a reference to asocial media video on Trump's accountthat referenced the phrase "Unified Reich." Trump removed the post after his critics said the phrase mirrors that of Nazi Germany. The Trump campaign claimed it was not a campaign video, but rather a random online video reposted by a staffer who did not see the word.
Biden on Wednesday also slammed Trump as being antithetical to American ideals.
"And I'll be damned if I'm going to let Donald Trump be the reason we stop being Americans," Biden said to cheers. "I'll be damned if I'm going to let Donald Trump -- we're not going to let Donald Trump turn America into a place that doesn't believe in honesty, decency and treating people with respect. And I'll be damned if I'm gonna let Donald Trump turn America into a place filled with anger and resentment and hate."
The rally marks the start of the Biden campaign's national Black voter outreach program, which they're calling Black Voters for Biden-Harris. The effort is coupled with an eight-figure investment, but the campaign did not provide ABC News with a specific dollar amount.
The campaign said it "believes that Black voters deserve to hear from Team Biden-Harris, and they deserve to have their vote earned, not assumed."
After the Philadelphia rally, Biden visited a local Black-owned business for an organizing event with the Black Chamber of Commerce. There was also a phone banking event featuring Rep. Barbara Lee.
The campaign's Black outreach will continue into the weekend, the campaign said, with events in battleground states, including Black church engagement in Arizona, barber shop and hair salon events in Michigan, and a block party-style celebration in Nevada. And over the summer, the campaign said it will partner with civic organizations to put on voter education and registration drives.
This follows a multi-day effort by Biden last week to outreach to Black voters, attending a Detroit NAACP dinner,announcing grants to further desegregate magnet schoolson the landmark Brown v. Board case's anniversary, taking formal initial steps to reschedule marijuana, anddelivering the commencement address at Morehouse College.
