President Joe Biden Reflects on Black Agenda and Vice President Kamala Harris in Exclusive Interview with theGrio

President Joe Biden recently sat down for an exclusive interview with theGrio’s “The Hill with April Ryan” in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he reflected on his Black agenda over the past nearly four years. Despite admitting that he wished more work could have been done quicker, Biden highlighted several achievements during his administration, including reducing Black poverty and unemployment, increasing small business participation, and securing $16 billion for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

The president also discussed his delayed trip to Angola, where he plans to highlight a railway project that will facilitate trade between countries along the route. Biden emphasized the importance of this project in terms of equity and security, noting that it will provide a vital transportation link for countries with abundant food resources.

During the interview, Biden expressed his confidence in Vice President Kamala Harris, whom he described as representing a new generation of thought, gender, and race. Reflecting on his decision not to seek reelection and instead support Harris as the Democratic presidential nominee, Biden emphasized the importance of saving America’s democracy from the divisive rhetoric and actions of former President Donald Trump.

In discussing Trump, Biden criticized his prejudice against women and Black Americans, stating that the former president’s demeaning behavior is both sad and sickening. Overall, Biden sees Harris as a capable leader who could potentially lead the country for the next four years.
