President Joe Biden recently made a visit to Girard College, a Philadelphia boarding school, as part of his campaign’s efforts to connect with Black voters. In a similar vein, former President Donald Trump held a rally in Wildwood, New Jersey about three weeks prior. NBC10’s Lauren Mayk spoke to voters at both events for the latest episode of Battleground Politics, delving into issues such as the economy, the Israel-Hamas war, and abortion.
The episode covers a range of topics, starting with a voter explaining their support for Joe Biden and the challenges the President faces. There is also a discussion on Biden’s handling of the Israel-Hamas War and what voters would like to see more of from him. A Philly pastor shares his thoughts on President Biden and his congregation’s political views, highlighting efforts to reach Black voters in the area.
Conversely, Trump supporters at the rally in Wildwood talk about whether he can win New Jersey, the issues most important to them, and their thoughts on abortion and political involvement. They also discuss the GOP and abortion rights.
