Black members of Congress are hoping that Joe Biden will use his State of the Union Speech to speak directly to the concerns of African Americans who are feeling lukewarm about this reelection bid.
There’s not necessarily a secret formula that will win those voters over, some members say, but he at least needs to explain in clear terms what he’s accomplished for them.
“I just want him to reaffirm a lot of what he has done already and how it impacts Black communities,” Rep. Yvette Clarke, D-N.Y. told Semafor. “So many of our constituents, mine in particular, are actually benefiting from the work that we have done already. And I think it’s important for him to give a vision of how he can build on those accomplishments.”
