Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida accused President Biden of pandering to Black voters in an exclusive interview with Fox News. As Biden prepared for a weekend of Black voter outreach in Georgia and Michigan, Donalds criticized the Democrats’ behavior, claiming they only engage with the Black community during election years. Donalds emphasized that Biden’s agenda is problematic, highlighting issues such as inflation, an open border, and ineffective policy execution in key areas such as job creation.
President Biden is scheduled to engage with Black voters during events in Georgia and Michigan to rally support for his reelection campaign. According to a memo released by his team, the campaign aims to engage with Black communities ahead of the upcoming election and not take any voters for granted. However, recent polls have indicated a shift in support for Black voters in favor of former President Trump. Despite the Biden campaign’s assertion of successful Black job creation and business ownership under his administration, Donalds argued that the president’s policies have negatively impacted families.
Donalds, a Trump ally and supporter in the House, expressed confidence in Republicans coming together and supporting Trump in the upcoming election. As a rumored potential running mate for Trump in 2024, Donalds addressed concerns about both individuals residing in Florida and potential issues with electoral votes. Despite Trump hinting at support for Donalds in the race for Florida governor in 2026, Donalds remains focused on his current role and considers the possibility of running for office in the future. His recent visit to New Hampshire for the state GOP’s major fundraising dinner has sparked speculation about national ambitions in four years.
In his interview with Fox News, Donalds discussed his thoughts on potential future political endeavors and how his journey in politics has been both humbling and exciting. He expressed gratitude for the support he has received from his constituents in Florida, including consideration as a possible future governor. With rumors circulating about a potential White House run in 2028, Donalds remained open to the idea, acknowledging the unpredictable nature of politics and the importance of staying engaged with constituents and voters. As his profile continues to rise nationally, Donalds’ visit to New Hampshire highlights his potential interest in broader political aspirations.
