VP Kamala Harris, Stacey Abrams, Jasmine Crockett Show Support For President Biden At Essence Fest | Atlanta Daily World

The 2024 Election became one of the most hot-button topics at the Essence Fest. Weeks after President Joe Biden’s shaky debate performance against Donald Trump, several prominent Democratic leaders rallied behind the president to show their support. 

Vice President Kamala Harris provided a clear message of support for Biden during a keynote speech with Caroline Wanga. Harris also blasted the national media’s narrative of focusing on Biden’s debate performance while ignoring Trump’s issues.  

“You have the former president who was has openly talked about his intention to be a dictator on day one,” Harris said. “He talked openly about his intention to weaponize the Department of Justice against his political enemies, who has talked about being proud of taking fundamental rights from the women of America. Sadly, the press has not been covering it as much as they should in proportion to the seriousness of what just happened when the United States Supreme Court essentially told this individual who has been convicted of 34 felonies that he will be immune from essentially the activity he has told us he is prepared to engage in if he gets back into the White House.”

Rep. Jasmine Crockett also shared views on the upcoming election during a taping of the “Native Land” podcast. 

“For Donald Trump to be president, United States in his 34 felony convictions, if Angela’s been disenfranchised, without a conviction, you imagine how limiting it is for a President of the United States, who is arguably the leader of the free world to add 30 more convictions. With convictions the use of the how effective he is going to be for us if he can’t lead this world, because that’s what the President United States says. That’s number one. Number two, no one would dare to treat him the way that Anthony was treated. I have never and those of you that don’t know I practice criminal law and civil rights law before 

I’m telling you to reopen. So I want you to understand that Donald if he cared to say that he was really going to talk to that vote about something that has disproportionately impacted us, such as criminal justice, because now he understands, has known doesn’t he still don’t understand, because he hasn’t seen but we have had to live through number one, but if he was smart, he would actually have an agenda as relates to criminal justice reform. But the debate everybody’s talking about, let’s talk about criminal justice reform, and supposed to be the number one thing that is falling right now about what people care about our.

President Biden is the Democrat’s answer to Project 2025. So, what project 2025 seeks to do is dismantle diversity, equity and inclusion in all its forms, meaning they want to be able to dismiss fire and dismantle access to equity, diversity and inclusion. They want to get rid of the Department of Education. Do you know why? Because Title One, expanded access to education and ensure that black and brown children finally got an education in this country. And it’s fun than education, imperfectly, yes, but absolutely. It does. They know that if you have a President Trump, the housing crisis, we’re in kind of a permanent situation. But that housing crisis as it is, is getting better because we have a president who actually thinks it’s a problem. We will have access to health care. They want to get rid of that we have president who will hold Obama character and continue to fund it and fight for CSU Medicaid, the remaining states that actually serve and so all of the things that they seek to undo under Project 2025 Get preserved when we win this election. Our best answer for Project 2025 is President Joe Biden.
