While Joe Biden was in Los Angeles trying to collect money from wealthy Hollywood celebrities, late-night host Jimmy Kimmel took a jab at former President Donald Trump, suggesting that Trump doesn’t care about regular people. This happened while Trump was in Detroit meeting with everyday citizens, including black voters, at a church. It goes to show how out of touch the Biden team can be.
Trump has actively engaged with communities, even those traditionally lean Democratic, like the South Bronx and Detroit. Polls in states that have historically voted blue, such as Minnesota and Virginia, now indicate Trump leading, which is certainly surprising news.

Biden’s track record, from handling the Afghanistan crisis to the border situation and the economy, has left much to be desired. People feel the negative impacts nationwide and yearn for the better times they remember under Trump’s administration. It’s no wonder they are eager to hear from the former president again.
During his visit to Detroit, Trump participated in a roundtable discussion at a church to connect with Black voters. The pastor expressed gratitude for Trump’s presence, pointing out that neither President Obama nor President Biden made similar efforts to engage directly with the community.
While Biden often appears to talk at black voters, Trump engaged in a genuine conversation with them during the church roundtable, listening to their concerns and offering his perspective on issues such as illegal immigration, which resonated with the audience given Detroit’s struggles with this issue.
Community members, like Carlos Chambers and restaurant owner Omar Mitchell, highlighted their support for Trump, citing his care for the military, economic policies that benefited all communities, and commitment to addressing pressing issues like illegal immigration.
The positive response from attendees, including cheers for the lowest black unemployment rate under Trump’s presidency, indicates a shift in support from Biden to Trump among black voters. It is evident that Trump’s proactive approach contrasts with Biden’s perceived ineffectiveness and lack of clarity in addressing key concerns.
In conclusion, Trump’s efforts to engage with diverse communities and address their priorities are gaining traction, while Biden’s shortcomings are becoming more apparent. As the 2024 elections loom, the contrast in leadership styles and responsiveness to citizen needs could significantly shape voter preferences.
