In a surprising twist of events, MSNBC host Al Sharpton took a swipe at President Joe Biden on Monday for rubbing shoulders with the Hollywood elite at a fancy fundraiser. Sharpton warned Biden that by cozying up to celebrities like Lizzo and Ben Platt at a $25 million DNC event, he’s risking losing touch with the working-class voters who helped Trump win in the first place.

Sharpton went on to criticize Biden for not reaching out to everyday Americans, contrasting Biden’s glamorous fundraiser with Trump’s visit to the wake of a fallen NYPD officer. According to Sharpton, Trump’s ability to connect with regular folks in their own communities is giving him an edge over Biden.
The conservative viewpoint here is crystal clear: Biden’s hobnobbing with celebrities in a ritzy setting is a major misstep that could cost him support from the very people he claims to represent. Sharpton’s advice to Biden? Get out of the fancy fundraisers and start engaging with real Americans to win back their trust and votes.
It’s no secret that Biden’s popularity is waning, especially among working-class voters, while Trump’s lead in the polls continues to grow. The contrast between Biden’s star-studded event and Trump’s grassroots approach couldn’t be starker, and Sharpton is not pulling any punches in calling out what he sees as a critical flaw in Biden’s campaign strategy.
In the end, the message is clear: if Biden wants to stand a chance against Trump in the upcoming election, he needs to ditch the glitz and glam and start connecting with the people who matter most – the hardworking Americans who are looking for a leader who understands their struggles and cares about their concerns.
