在共和党人聚集在一起召开提名大会之际,美国总统乔·拜登(Joe Biden)计划下周前往全国各地,举行针对黑人和拉丁裔选民的反规划活动,这表明尽管要求他下台的呼声越来越高,但他的竞选活动仍有增无减。
据一名白宫官员透露,7月15日在密尔沃基举行的共和党全国代表大会的第一天,拜登计划在得克萨斯州奥斯汀的LBJ总统图书馆纪念民权法案60周年。
"这位白宫官员在一份声明中说,拜登总统将继续在全国旅行,讨论美国人民在过去三年半中取得的非凡进步,阐述他的愿景,以确保美国的承诺惠及所有社区,并明确表示,我们必须抵制国会共和党人让我们倒退的企图。
7月16日,总统将前往拉斯维加斯两天,在第115届全美有色人种协进会全国代表大会上发表讲话,然后在7月17日的UnidosUS年会上发表讲话。
拜登此行是竞选团队7月份战略的一部分,包括访问关键的战场州,以及5000万美元的付费媒体闪电战。
根据竞选团队的说法,在这些站之前,总统将于周三在美国劳工联合会-产业工会联合会(AFL-CIO)会见全国工会领导人,并于周五前往底特律,这是他今年第四次前往密歇根州。
Biden countering RNC with battleground state travel
President Joe Biden is planning to travel the country next week, as the Republicans gather for their nominating convention, to hold counterprogramming events targeting Black and Latino voters in a sign his campaign is continuing unabated despite growing calls for him to step aside.
On the first day of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on July 15, Biden plans to mark the 60th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act at the LBJ Presidential Library in Austin, Texas, according to a White House official.
"President Biden will continue traveling the country to discuss the extraordinary progress the American people have made in the past three and a half years, lay out his vision to ensure the promise of America reaches all communities, and make clear that we must resist attempts by Congressional Republicans to take us backwards," the White House official said in a statement.
On July 16, the president will travel to Vegas for two days to deliver remarks at the 115th NAACP National Convention and then the UnidosUS Annual Conference on July 17.
Biden's stops are a part of the campaign's July strategy that will include visits to key battleground states, as well as a $50 million paid media blitz.
Leading up to these stops, the president will meet with national union leaders at the AFL-CIO on Wednesday and travel to Detroit for his fourth trip to Michigan this year on Friday, according to the campaign.
