The Biden-Harris campaign will partner with Black community leaders, influencers and surrogates over the summer to host events in Black communities and engage with media outlets that cater to Black audiences, the campaign announced Wednesday.

Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will kick off the initiative, “Black Voters for Biden-Harris” in Philadelphia Wednesday, followed by organizing events over the weekend in the six battleground states (Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia).

The campaign is launching the eight-figure outreach initiative as both Biden and the Democratic party as a whole have lost support among Black voters since 2020, according to Pew Research.

As of April, Biden’s support among Black voters has dipped to 77% since 2020, when 92% voted for him over Trump, according to Pew, while 83% of Black registered voters identify as Democrats or leaning Democratic, compared to 88% four years ago.

Biden’s overall approval rating among Black Americans has also decreased dramatically throughout his presidency: from 87% in March 2021 to 55%, Pew found.

The survey shows younger Black voters (under 50) favor Trump over Biden (29% to 68%) by wider margins than older Black voters (9% to 84%), opposite from the electorate as a whole, in which older voters prefer Trump over Biden (51% to 46%) versus younger voters, who prefer Biden over Trump (52% to 46%).
