Biden beat Trump 87% to 12% among Black voters in 2020, according to CNN exit polls.
Harris attempted to convince festival attendees that “we can see it through” if they once again vote in record numbers.
Many look to Harris as the obvious successor if Biden steps aside, with a recent CNN poll conducted after the debate showing the vice president outpacing Biden in a hypothetical race against Trump.
The vice president was able to avoid talking about worries within her own party Saturday as the moderator did not specifically ask about concerns over Biden’s reelection bid.
Meanwhile, other Biden surrogates at the event tackled the issue head-on, throwing their support behind the president and telling voters that he’s not going anywhere.
