WATCH: Biden Sits with BET to Address His Record with Black Americans

Biden Sits with BET to Address His Record with Black Americans

After delivering remarks at the NAACP’s National Convention, President Joe Biden sat down for a comprehensive interview with BET journalist Ed Gordon.

The discussion highlighted Biden’s achievements for Black Americans and the critical issues in the upcoming election. A significant portion of the conversation focused on the recent overturning of abortion rights, emphasizing the administration’s commitment to protecting reproductive freedoms. Biden underscored the importance of voter turnout and civic engagement in these challenges, calling on the community to unite in safeguarding their rights and shaping the nation’s future.

“The Supreme Court did it — Trump appointed [justices to the] Supreme Court with the expressed purpose of doing it — so that’s the way it works… They’re probably going to be two more appointments to the Court… Just imagine a Court if he has two more appointments on that — what that means forever.”

Joe Biden Tries To Decipher Donald Trump’s “Black Jobs” Statements

The presidential election is in a weird spot right now. Obviously, it has a lot to do with the recent near tragedy that took place a couple of days ago. Donald Trump was almost assassinated during his Butler, Pennsylvania rally by one Thomas Crooks. The latter was promptly killed seconds after his thankfully inaccurate shots at the former president. Since it transpired, people (presumably Democrats) are claiming that Trump set this whole thing up to help him earn more votes. While that is almost certainly a stretch (an attendee also died), the bump in votes could happen. Because of that, Joe Biden, who still showed grace toward his opponent in a recent public address, he is still looking to get reelected. As the saying goes, “the show must go on”. So, it is no surprise that Joe Biden is trying to find any win against Donald Trump that he can.

For example, the current POTUS attempted to decode what his Republican foe meant by his “Black jobs” remarks in last month’s debate. According to AllHipHop, Complex and Speedy Morman spoke with Biden about this, as well as Trump’s supposed actual relationship with the aforementioned minority. “A Black job is the same as a white job, the same as any other job. But you know what he means by Black jobs. He means menial labor,” Biden asserted. That’s what he thinks. He thinks he’s gonna sell golden shoes or sneakers… There’s a reason why we are the most advanced nation in the world, the most progressive nation in the world, and why our economy is the biggest. We’re the only nation in the world that isn’t xenophobic”.

Joe Biden Questions Donald Trump’s Support Of The Black Community & Vice Versa

Then, in regard to Trump’s supposed love for the Black community and the rapper’s that have been endorsing him, Biden is questioning that too. “Well, I’m not sure he has that allegiance, number one. Number two, if you look at his record in terms of African Americans and minorities, it’s abysmal the way he handles everything. The answer is, I don’t know if he has hip-hop artists that are supportive of him”. There have been plenty of rappers that have been vocal about their affiliation with the former POTUS such as Sexyy Red, Kodak Black, Benny The Butcher, and more.

What are your thoughts on Joe Biden’s explanation of what Donald Trump meant by “Black jobs”? Whose side are you currently on? What are your thoughts following the assassination attempt? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

Joe Biden Shockingly Calls Kamala Harris “Vice President Trump”

President Joe Biden has been under a whole lot of scrutiny as of late. Overall, a lot of this has to do with his horrific debate performance from a few weeks ago. Since that time, Biden has made numerous mistakes which seemingly point towards cognitive decline. Although Biden has maintained that he will not drop out of the Presidential race, Democrats are practically begging for him to step aside. In fact, Kamala Harris is currently being tested in internal polling against Donald Trump.

Yesterday, Biden had a chance to prove himself at a news conference following a NATO meeting. Unfortunately, Biden made a plethora of mistakes yet again, and it was not a good look. Perhaps his worst error was when he called Kamala Harris, “Vice President Trump.” While it was a slip of the tongue, the President has been having a lot of those lately. Earlier in the day, he called Ukraine’s Zelensky “President Putin.” Again, not a good look.

Joe Biden Flubs Again

Following his speech, the reporters in attendance mostly asked him about his competence. Biden grew visibly frustrated while answering the questions. However, he did not that he believes Kamala Harris has what it takes to be President. While he is committed to running in November, perhaps this is all foreshadowing for what is to come. Either way, the President is experience horrible approval ratings, and the Democrats are internally freaking out. Only time will tell whether or not Biden steps down, or stubbornly stays in the race.

Let us know what you think about this gaffe, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that this is going to be the end of the Joe Biden campaign? Do you think that the current President should even be running for office come November? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Joe Biden Campaign Reportedly Tests Kamala Harris’ Odds Against Donald Trump With Secret Survey

Joe Biden and Donald Trump’s first debate was concerning, to say the least, and left many voters questioning whether or not the current U.S. President is fit for another term. As a result, there have been countless demands for a switch up to the Democratic ticket. Of course, Vice President Kamala Harris would be the easiest replacement, though it was previously unclear how she might perform against Trump.

Now, The New York Times reports that the Biden-Harris campaign has been quietly conducting a survey to figure this out, according to three unnamed sources. They also added that some of the president’s top aides are skeptical of her ability to outperform Biden and are wary of putting any faith in hypothetical polling. It’s unclear at the time of writing what the campaign plans to do with its purported findings, whether it be to prove that Biden is still the strongest option or the opposite.

White House Spokesperson Denies Secret Survey Reports

Andrew Bates, a White House spokesperson, denies reports of a secret survey. “Unequivocally, this is not true,” he told PEOPLE. “President Biden’s team is strongly behind him.” The reports arrive shortly after NBC News chatted with three individuals “directly involved” in his campaign efforts, who claimed that the debate fallout has shaken their confidence. “He needs to drop out,” one of them explained, “He will never recover from this.” Another said, “No one involved in the effort thinks he has a path.”

“The question for me, and a lot of us, is: Who is the best person to beat Donald Trump?” someone else asked at the time. “There are a lot of us that are true blue that are questioning our initial thoughts on that.” Again, Biden campaign spokesman TJ Ducklo shut down these reports, insisting that the president’s team stands behind him. What do you think of reports that the Biden-Harris campaign has been conducting a secret survey to determine how well Harris would perform against Donald Trump? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Joe Biden Receives Repeated Calls To Drop Out Of Presidential Race

President Joe Biden has received a whole lot of scrutiny over the last few weeks. Overall, this is mostly thanks to his horrific debate performance against Donald Trump. While Trump wasn’t exactly performing to the best of his abilities, Biden appeared to be in a bad state. There have been signs of cognitive decline, and his debate performance was one of his worst looks yet. Democrats have started to freak out, although Biden remains of the mindset that he is going to stay in the race.

According to CNN, Democrats like Nancy Pelosi have been critical of Biden and his choice to stay in the fight. Moreover, even George Clooney has made some strong comments about the President. This is significant considering how Clooney is a major donor to Biden. Despite all of this, the President is not dropping out of the race, at least for now. The Democratic National Convention is in August, which means there is still time for Biden to come out and drop out before it’s too late.

Waka Flocka Flame Demands Joe Biden Supporters Leave During Concert

Waka Flocka Flame demanded that any supporters of President Joe Biden leave his concert while performing in Salt Lake City, Utah on Tuesday night. In doing so, he joked about the President’s age and told his voters to go join him at a bingo game. “All Joe Biden voters, get out of my concert,” he told the crowd. “We gonna see y’all at the bingo game. We’re gonna party right now for T24.”

“I bet he felt real comfortable saying that in Utah lol,” one user replied to a video of the moment on X (formerly Twitter). “N****s will use you to make it then switch up on you when they made you lol because you can’t tell me he has a enough day one fans that are republicans.” Another wrote: “Rappers don’t know nothing about politics.”

Despite being proudly against the former president for years, Waka’s tone changed when the Trump administration presented him with a lifetime achievement award before leaving office in 2021. It recognized his humanitarian efforts with the non-profit Daughter of Destiny. “I just want to thank President Trump for recognizing me,” Flocka said at the time. “I wanna thank Bridget and just everyone who love me with enough love back and do everything that I’ve wanted to do that was generous.” Check out Waka’s latest comments on the upcoming presidential election below.

Cardi B Declares She ‘Will Never Turn Republican’ Despite Not Supporting Joe Biden In The 2024 Election

If you’re not clear where Cardi B stands politically, let her be the first to tell you that she will “never” become a Republican.

In response to a clip of Cardi previewing a new song, an X (formerly Twitter) user wrote yesterday (July 1), “she may have betrayed our country and turned Republican but at least she found a nice tune.” Cardi replied, “I will never turn republican lol.”

The user’s comment was presumably referencing Cardi recently distancing herself from Joe Biden. In a Rolling Stone feature shared in May, Cardi confirmed she doesn’t intend to vote in the upcoming election, saying of Biden and Donald Trump, “I don’t f*ck with both of y’all n****s.”

Cardi also said, “It’s just like, damn, y’all not caring about nobody. Then, it really gets me upset that there is solutions to it. There is a solution. I know there’s a solution because you’re spending billions of dollars on any f*cking thing.” She added later, “[America] don’t pay for endless wars for countries that have been going through sh*t for a very long time. There’s countries [where] kids are getting killed every single day, but because the [US] won’t benefit from that country, they won’t help. I don’t like that America has this superhero cape on. We never did things to be superheroes. We did things for our own convenience.”

Fat Joe & E-40 Support Joe Biden At Rally In North Carolina After Brutal Debate Performance

Despite coming off of a now-infamous debate performance against Donald Trump, President Joe Biden was able to land appearances from two legendary rappers during a rally in North Carolina on Friday. Both Fat Joe and E-40 performed at the event, during which Biden attempted to restore confidence in Democratic voters.

Taking over the stage, Joe performed his hit song, “All The Way Up,” and reminded the audience of the importance of healthcare transparency while encouraging them to vote for Biden. E-40, on the other hand, performed the iconic, “Tell Me When to Go,” to get the crowd excited.

As for Biden, he attempted to convince his base that concerns about his health are unfounded. “I know I’m not a young man — state the obvious,” Biden said during the event. “Folks, I don’t walk as easy as I used to. I don’t speak as smoothly as I used to. I don’t debate as well as I used to, but I know what I do know. I know how to tell the truth.” He added: “Folks, I give you my word as a Biden I wouldn’t be running again if I didn’t believe with all my heart and soul I can do this job. Because quite frankly the stakes are too high.”

The concerns for the incumbent candidate began immediately after the start of his debate against former president Donald Trump, earlier in the week. He slurred his words and appeared confused throughout the night. Regardless, he still intends to participate in the second debate later this summer. Be on the lookout for further updates on the upcoming presidential election on HotNewHipHop.

Biden Bounces Back: Delivers Powerful Message at North Carolina Rally a Day After Debate

16402080178177

A night after a rather poor showing at the opening presidential debate, President Joe Biden was back on stage in Raleigh, North Carolina. Appearing more alert and healthier than the night before—his campaign stating he was battling a cold—Biden had a message for his supporters: “I intend to win this election.”

He had quite the powerful closing to his moment on stage:

“Let me close with this. I know I’m not a young man. I don’t walk as easily as I used to. I don’t talk as smoothly as I used to. I don’t debate as well as I used to. Well, I know what I do know. I know how to tell the truth. I know right from wrong. I know how to do this job. I know how to get things done. I know, like millions of Americans, when you get knocked down, you get back up. I know what it will take to bring this economy to everybody. I know what it’ll take to rally the world to stand up against Putin and defend freedom. And I know what it takes to keep the world safe and free for the years ahead. Folks, I give you my word as a Biden, I would not be running again if I didn’t believe, with all my heart and soul that I can do this job because, quite frankly, the stakes are too high.”
