During a campaign rally in Philadelphia on Wednesday, May 29, 2024, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris launched a new initiative called "Black Voters for Biden Harris."The program aims to invest in Black student organizations, community groups and faith centers across the country.The push comes at a moment when Biden has seen his solid support among Black voters show signs of erosion. Among Black adults, Biden's approval has dropped from 94% when he started his term to just 55%, according to an AP-NORC poll published in March.

Few people were reportedly in attendance at a Joe Biden rally in Philadelphia on Wednesday, despite Pennsylvania being an important swing state for him to win.

Photos showing vast spaces of emptiness at the Philadelphia rally began to circulate on Wednesday from New York Post reporter Steven Nelson.

"Photos from President Biden's Philadelphia rally: the school's gym is only about half full of supporters A good amount of space is empty and spacious press workspace takes up the rest," Nelson noted on X.
