President Biden Warns Black Voters of “Unhinged” Threat from Trump and Urges Protection of Democracy

President Biden delivered a powerful message to Black voters in Atlanta on Saturday, warning them of the threat he believes former President Donald J. Trump poses to the future of the country. At two campaign events, Biden urged voters to see the upcoming election as a choice between protecting democracy or letting it backslide.

The President’s remarks were a preview of his scheduled speech at Morehouse College on Sunday, where he aimed to rally support from the historically Black institution’s community. Despite some division over his invitation due to the ongoing conflict in Gaza, Biden made it clear that the stakes of the election are high.

“We cannot let this man become president. We have to win this race, not for me but for America,” Biden emphasized to a group of supporters in Atlanta. He painted Trump as an “unhinged” force who would seek revenge in a second term, highlighting the importance of preventing such a scenario.

While Biden has been trying to position himself as a defender of democracy and stability, recent polls show him trailing Trump in key battleground states like Georgia. The President acknowledged the challenges he faces but remained confident in his message.

“It’s not about me,” Biden reiterated. “It’s about the alternative as well.” He pointed to the unpredictability of polling and emphasized the importance of looking at actual election results, citing Nikki Haley’s impact on primary elections as an example.

As the campaign heats up and the election draws closer, Biden’s focus on the potential consequences of a Trump presidency underscores the urgency of the choice facing voters. The battle for Black voter support in Georgia and beyond will be crucial in determining the outcome of the election.
