Watch: Biden reflects on his Black agenda and what he would like to do differently
“It’s a shame we couldn’t get more work done sooner when it comes to the Black agenda,” Biden admitted. However, the forty sixth president of the United States cited quite a lot of achievements of his administration, including reducing black poverty and unemployment.
“We are increasing the share of small enterprises. We got $16 billion for HBCUs,” he added.
Biden also talked about his delayed trip to Angola, a part of his promise to visit the African continent. The president is anticipated to highlight a railway linking the Atlantic Ocean with the Indian Ocean that can enable the African nation and other countries to trade.
“There are countries on this route that have all the food in the world and have no way to extract it,” he explained. “It makes a huge difference when it comes to straight capital, but it also makes a huge difference when it comes to security.”
Reflecting on the past nearly 4 years, the president emphasized, “We spend a lot of time together,” concluding that he knows Harris well and that the American public should trust his words in regards to the Democratic presidential candidate who replaced him at the highest of the ticket. seat after shockingly deciding not to seek re-election.
In making that fateful decision on July 21, Biden selected what he and others believed was saving American democracy from former President Donald Trump over political ambition.
Biden said he sees Harris as representative of a brand new generation of thought, gender and race who will likely lead the country over the subsequent 4 years.
