Joe Biden and Kamala Harris recently appeared at an event in Philadelphia to kick off “Black Voters for Biden-Harris.” This campaign aims to compete with the support President Trump has been gaining from black voters. Some folks are saying Biden used the event to get folks riled up about race issues, which isn’t cool.
Despite what the Biden team wants folks to think, it seems they might be stretching the truth a bit. Reports say they let independent content creators into the White House to help promote their ideas. Some photos from the event make it seem like there were a lot more people there than there really were. The area was only about half full. The Republican National Committee pointed out that Biden couldn’t even fill a school gym in a Democrat-leaning city.

It’s a bit embarrassing that not even having both the president and vice president there could draw a big crowd. The set-up and lack of audience don’t match the excitement you’d expect. Trump has been having big rallies; most people thought Biden would have some strong support too, especially in a city like Philadelphia.
Others might see this as a sign that Biden’s team is trying to make things look better than they are. It’s important for politicians to be honest about their support and not try to trick people into thinking they have more backing than they really do. It’s a reminder to always question the information we’re given, especially in politics.
